quote from Ronald Reagan:
"All of us denounce war--all of us consider it man's greatest stupidity.
And yet wars happen and they involve the most passionate lovers of peace
because there are still barbarians in the world who set the price of peace
at death or enslavement and the price is too high."
I see people marching for peace, people standing on corners with signs
for peace, people preaching for peace, and I understand their frustration .
But I wish they would go preach to the Islamofascists.
Sometimes I wonder , when I hear people complain because our armed
services are fighting and dying, what they supposed armies were formed for.
I know a lot of men and women went into the Reserves for what they could
get out of it, but if they didn't realize they were training to fight a war, if there
was a war, then they were deluding themselves.
Human beings being human, it is very doubtful there will ever come a time
when there are no wars. If the time comes it will have to be because people
have found something to take its place, because there will always be some
who want to abuse others for one reason or another...religion or greed or
power or lunacy.
So folks can demonstrate and march and carry signs and I hope it makes them feel better .... but it's one battle they can't win.
