Quote

First of all, war is a very, very difficult thing to deal with, even on the good days.

People are still thinking of solving problems by violence and war, and that has to stop.

We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.

With the situation now, people might be intrigued to see how a country coped with war all those years ago.

War is the continuation of politics by other means.

A war still rages over the legacy of the 1960s.

Moreover, war has become a thing potentially so terrible and destructive that it should have been the common aim of statesmen to put an end to it forever.

The last eight years have created a lot of deep-seated hostility. People take political decisions very personally, and today there is a constant, ongoing attack, with one side or the other being maligned.

War is like love; it always finds a way.

This war differs from other wars, in this particular. We are not fighting armies but a hostile people, and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war.
