War

[MoseyWalker]

war.

it happens. all the time. We do it, others do it. War and death and fear.

it happens.

It does nothing to cause anyone to say something "good" has happened.

War hurts. War kills.

People become "dead".

Dead because of war.

What a concept.

I don't want war anymore.

Do you?

2. "Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, . . .

Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

- Sir Winston Churchill


The German Emperor is ageing me; he is like a battleship with steam up and screws going, but with no rudder, and he will run into something some day and cause a catastrophe. He has the strongest army in the world and the Germans don't like being laughed at and are looking for somebody on whom to vent their temper and use their strength. After a big war a nation doesn't want another for a generation or more. Now it is 38 years since Germany had her last war, and she is very strong and very restless, like a person whose boots are too small for him. I don't think there will be war at present, but it will be difficult to keep the peace of Europe for another five years.

- Sir Edward Grey, Britain's foreign secretary, from an article in response to the comments made by Kaiser Wilhelm II in the Daily Telegraph (November, 1908)


And, yes, I think the Chimp is a modern day Kaiser.

6. I am so fucking sick of War...

I was watching "Letters from Iwo Jima" the other night and I thought to myself, "This is how 'intelligent men' settle their differences...by seeing who can kill the most people."

What a waste.
