I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people.
Edmund Burke

War is the ultimate tool of politics.
R. Buckminster Fuller

Either war is obsolete, or men are.

War is not the continuation of politics with different means, it is the greatest mass-crime perpetrated on the community of man.
Alfred Adler

War is organized murder and torture against our brothers.
Alfred Adler

Alfred Adler

Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy.
Alfred Adler

If we don't end war, war will end us.
H. G. Wells

No matter what you think about the Iraq war, there is one thing we can all agree on for the next days - we have to salute the courage and bravery of those who are risking their lives to vote and those brave Iraqi and American soldiers fighting to protect their right to vote.

I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle.
Barry Goldwater

A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.
H. G. Wells

I'm as frustrated with the French, I think, as anyone, but look, there's going to be other challenges and there are going to be other issues. As long as there's a war on terrorism going on, we're all going to have to work together.

The Canadian government continues to say they will not help us if we go to war with Iraq. However, the prime minister of Canada said he'd like to help, but he's pretty sure that last time he checked, Canada had no army.
Conan O'Brien

Officials at the White House are saying that President Bush hasn't changed his schedule much since the war started. The main difference, they say, is that he's started watching the news and taping Sponge Bob.
Conan O'Brien

Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didn't find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today, if only we had eyes to see them.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
