You need to think, when you get involved in wars, how you're going to get out of them.

I was not interested in spending 10 years in the culture wars.

I'm pretty sure I'm not at war with myself.

I'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities.

I do not wish a foreign army to spill the blood of my people.

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

War is not an academic exercise.

War is not a thing one wants.

If you aren't please tell me how you are going to not have a war.

Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
