It's very important to go back and keep in mind the distinction between handling these events as criminal acts, which was the way we did before 9/11, and then looking at 9/11 and saying, 'This is not a criminal act,' not when you destroy 16 acres of Manhattan, kill 3,000 Americans, blow a big hole in the Pentagon. That's an act of war. Dick Cheney

We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. Omar N. Bradley
With Vietnam, the Iraq War, so many American films about war are almost always from the American point of view. You almost never have a Middle Eastern character by name with a story. Mira Nair
Even under the best of circumstances, the road back from war is difficult. Ron Wyden
The Bible is a radically pro-slavery document. Slave owners waved Bibles over their heads in the Civil War and justified it. Dan Savage
I've always been at war with myself, for right or wrong. Brad Pitt
Most American fascists are enthusiastically supporting the war effort. They are doing this even in those cases where they hope to have profitable connections with German chemical firms after the war ends. Henry A. Wallace
