A lot of us feel that we are against the war; we are against profiling and are against what is happening. We are tired of war in every manifestation. American people do not all believe in what the government has been doing.

I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war.

I am opposed to war, to killing people, to any kind of hatred and violence.

I think most Americans believe that although it's better not to use military force if you can avoid it, that the world simply doesn't provide us the luxury of giving away military force as an important tool of foreign policy.

Another term for preventive war is aggressive war - starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition.

I think, unfortunately, we live in a world where people attack other people and I think a legitimate rationale for war is the saving of human life, the saving of lives of people who cannot defend themselves.

I don't think we should ever be at war. That's kind of naive, I suppose.

If you're against war, you're against war regardless of what happens. It's a wrong method of trying to settle a dispute.

When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.

War is no picnic. Wars should be prevented, and if you can't prevent them, you have to put them off.
