To some degree it matters who's in office, but it matters more how much pressure they're under from the public.

You never need an argument against the use of violence, you need an argument for it.

The only security for the American people today, or for any people, is to be found through the control of force rather than the use of force.

To initiate a war of aggression...is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.

Some explanations of a crime are not explanations: they're part of the crime.

It is finer to bring one noble human being into the world and rear it well...than to kill ten thousand.

If you love this land of the free, bring 'em home, bring 'em home, Bring 'em back from overseas.
