If you were born in Britain after World War II, you see a continuous atmosphere of decline, moral and economic and political.
There are laws for peace as well as war.
In Japan itself there have all along been attempts by some to obliterate the article about renunciation of war from the Constitution and for this purpose they have taken every opportunity to make use of pressures from abroad.
Libya as a country is a relatively new concept. The period of Libya as a modern nation really starts after World War II.
Culturally, the First World War is the war that stands in for other wars.
We have a sufficient political class, and the military doesn't have to get involved in high national office. The days of doing that, post-Civil War and post-World War II, are gone.
My job is to put words together and tell a story. If that doesn't work for you, it's not a war crime.
Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.
One thing that I noticed is having met some former Taliban is even they, as children, grew up being indoctrinated. They grew up in violence. They grew up in war. They were taught to hate. They were, they grew up in very ignorant cultures where they didn't learn about the outside world.
We prefer world law in the age of self-determination to world war in the age of mass extermination.
My argument is that War makes rattling good history; but Peace is poor reading.
All that is needed to set us definitely on the road to a Fascist society is war. It will of course be a modified form of Fascism at first.
Our country undergoes periodic episodes of extreme intolerance and fear of foreigners, refugees in particular. Not only were people of Japanese descent placed in internment camps during World War II, but so were some Italians and Germans.
My songs are my kids. Some of them stay with me, some others I have to send out, out to the war. It might sound stupid and it might even sound naive, but that's just the way it is.
You might hold an ethical position that it's wrong to lie, but if you have plans for a war in Iraq, and you want to keep them secret for practical reasons - to reduce casualties, perhaps - and someone asks you about those plans, you may need to lie for a 'good' outcome.
You go to war when there is a security threat, and Saddam Hussein was seen as a threat to our interests and our security.
I share Alfred Nobel's conviction that war is the greatest of all human disasters. Infectious disease runs a good second.
An all-out trade war with China would be damaging to Disney's business and to business in general. It's something I think we have to be very careful about.
For a generation, terrorists learned they could make war on free nations without fear of war in return. On September 12, the terrorists got war in return.
I can't go to war with paparazzi.
It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.
I think war is so incredibly backward, and I don't think it's intelligent, and it's not sane. So why would you want to support it?
I assure you, it would be much more pleasant for me to be an ordinary voter in peaceful Chechnya than the president of a republic at war.
When there's a war, people get married.
A cosmic war is like a ritual drama in which participants act out on Earth a battle they believe is actually taking place in the heavens.
It was 1943. The U.S. had already entered World War II, so I decided to join the army.

I followed the war wherever I could reach it.
But the central point is that any campaign against Iraq, whatever the strategy, cost and risks, is certain to divert us for some indefinite period from our war on terrorism.
But to the fighting soldier that phase of the war is behind. It was left behind after his first battle. His blood is up. He is fighting for his life, and killing now for him is as much a profession as writing is for me.
Our poverty will be brought home to us to its full extent only after the war.
That godfather of the modern action blockbuster, 'The Godfather,' is entirely character driven, propelled by the transformation of a crime lord's youngest son, who breaks bad when he evolves from white-sheep war hero to blood-soaked inheritor of his father's empire.
Unless one is inordinately fond of subordination, one is always at war.
'War Eagle' is like 'I love you.'
I was going to be a great woman novelist. Then the war came along and I think it's hard for young people today, don't you, to realize that when World War II happened we were dying to go and help our country.
During the run up to the Iraq War, Mike Farrell and I did get on television kind of frequently, but then they saw that that didn't work. They really couldn't bait us into being stupid, so they stopped. You know the mainstream media, corporate media, avoids ever giving anyone who has anything to say a platform, if they can possibly help it.
