Slide 1:WORLD CONFLICT ZONES 2009 QUOTES ON THE INSENSIBILITIES OF WAR
Slide 2:Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed (Mao Tse Tung, 1893-1976) So long as there are men there will be wars. (Albert Einstein) Men regard it as their right to return evil for evil -- and if they cannot, feel they have lost their liberty. (Aristotle) History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap. (Ronald Reagan) War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace. (Thomas Mann, 1875 – 1955) Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it. (Woodrow Wilson)
Slide 3:They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason. (Ernest Hemingway) What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? (Gandhi) I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in. (George McGovern) Older men declare war. But it's the youth who must fight and die! (Herbert Hoover) You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way. (Will Rogers, 1879 – 1935) Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. (Dwight D. Eisenhower)
Slide 4:Either war is obsolete or men are. (R. Buckminister Fuller) Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. (Ernest Hemingway) One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one. (Agatha Christie, 1890 – 1976)
