WAR QUOTES XVII

quotations about war

(1) Acknowledge war as an addiction. (2) Call upon a "higher power" to form a "coalition of the willing" to renounce war and promote human rights. (3) Admit the error of using war as a tool of foreign policy that has harmed millions, and make amends to those who have suffered. (4) Learn new ways of dealing with nations that abuse human rights, such as committing to a new code of international conduct, and working through the UN and International Court, rather than acting unilaterally to advance our own interests. (6) Halt the sale and stockpiling of weapons while finding new avenues for economic growth that promote life and do not destroy our planet.

CURT TORELL

letter to the Editor, Smoky Mountain News, February 3, 2016


One certain effect of war is to diminish freedom of expression. Patriotism becomes the order of the day, and those who question the war are seen as traitors, to be silenced and imprisoned.

HOWARD ZINN

Howard Zinn on War


Nations with nations mix'd confus'dly die, and lost in one promiscuous carnage lie.
