Wisdom worth sharing, words worth remembering.
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.
I did a production of 'Journey's End' an RC Sherriff play about World War I at the Edinburgh Festival. I was 18 and it was the first time that people I knew and loved and respected came up to me after the show and said 'You know you could really do this if you wanted to.'
It was quite a European war until 1917 when the Americans joined up. They don't have the same sense of the loss of innocence and the cataclysmic loss of life. A whole generation was wiped out.
There is so much that must be done in a civilized barbarism like war.
The war on terror is the most insane and immoral war of all time. The Americans are doing what they did in Vietnam bombing villages. But how can a civilised nation do this? How can you can eliminate suspects their wives their children their families their neighbours? How can you justify this?
The real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.
Here we will solve with laws and dollars problems that too many people around the world still must solve with violence and civil war.
Law is always better than war.
If men make war in slavish obedience to rules they will fail.
You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will.
There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut.
If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty I will answer that war is war and not popularity seeking.
