“The fact that people are willing to cross vast seas and mountainous terrain to murder people they know nothing about on request from people they know nothing about is the height of social absurdity, cultural violence, and incivility.” ~ Sterlin Luxin.

WASHINGTON’S ONLY ENEMY IS PEACE

“War is a profitable business: It seems that the US has placed it at the heart of its economy. This is why US politicians and military officials have claimed that Russia poses a threat to their nation and its allies. Washington’s only enemy is peace.” – Finian Cunningham.

“I love this war. I know it’s smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment and yet, I can’t help it, I enjoy every second of it.” ~ Winston Churchill, 1916 in a letter to Lord Asquith’s daughter.

“War is the terrorism of the rich. Terrorism is the war of the poor.”  Peter Ustinov.

“The US has as much interest in peace as does a condom maker in abstinence.” ~ Stephen Donovan.

“War is when people shoot each other, who don’t even know each other, on the behalf of people who know each other, but don’t shoot each other.” ~ Anon.

“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.

“If you had only known the man you were trying to kill, you would have risked your life, to save his.”  -   Harry Pope, WW2 Pacific USS LSM 41, 1944. Japan 1950.

“If those who support aggressive war had seen a fraction of what I’ve seen, if they’d watched children fry to death from Napalm and bleed to death from a cluster bomb, they might not utter the claptrap they do.” ~ Journalist John Pilger. 

“Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder!

Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings! Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction!” ~ Helen Keller. 1916.

“Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.” ~ Mark Twain. The Mysterious Stranger 1916.

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own’   -  Aldous Huxley – English novelist and critic, 1894-1963.
