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 on war
From our perspective, trying to deal with this continuing campaign of terror, if you will, the war on terror that we're engaged in, this is a continuing enterprise. The people that were involved in some of those activities before 9/11 are still out there. Dick Cheney on war

We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. Omar N. Bradley on war
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 on war
Even under the best of circumstances, the road back from war is difficult. Ron Wyden on war
The Bible is a radically pro-slavery document. Slave owners waved Bibles over their heads in the Civil War and justified it. Dan Savage on war
