“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 ARE NOT CLOTHED. THIS WORLD IN ARMS IS NOT SPENDING MONEY ALONE. IT IS SPENDING THE SWEAT OF ITS LABORERS, THE GENIUS OF ITS SCIENTISTS, THE HOPES OF ITS CHILDREN. THIS IS NOT A WAY OF LIFE AT ALL IN ANY TRUE SENSE. UNDER THE CLOUDS OF WAR, IT IS HUMANITY HANGING ON A CROSS OF IRON.”
― DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

“THE MOST DANGEROUS PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE NOT THE TINY MINORITY INSTIGATING EVIL ACTS, BUT THOSE WHO DO THE ACTS FOR THEM. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THE BRITISH INVADED INDIA, MANY INDIANS ACCEPTED TO WORK FOR THE BRITISH TO KILL OFF INDIANS WHO RESISTED THEIR OCCUPATION. SO IN OTHER WORDS, MANY INDIANS WERE HIRED TO KILL OTHER INDIANS ON BEHALF OF THE ENEMY FOR A PAYCHECK. TODAY, WE HAVE MERCENARIES IN AFRICA, CORPORATE ARMIES FROM THE WESTERN WORLD, AND UNEMPLOYED MEN THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST KILLING THEIR OWN PEOPLE – AND PEOPLE OF OTHER NATIONS – FOR A PAYCHECK. TO ACT WITHOUT A CONSCIENCE, BUT FOR A PAYCHECK, MAKES ANYONE A DANGEROUS ANIMAL. THE DEVIL WOULD BE POWERLESS IF HE COULDN’T ENTICE PEOPLE TO DO HIS WORK. SO AS LONG AS MONEY CONTINUES TO SEDUCE THE HUNGRY, THE HOPELESS, THE BROKEN, THE GREEDY, AND THE NEEDY, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE WAR BETWEEN BROTHERS.”
― SUZY KASSEM

― TERRY PRATCHETT, MONSTROUS REGIMENT
