Last night I read a newspaper article that claimed Ex- British Prime Minister Tony Blair accepted no blame for the current problems in Iraq. Quite by chance this morning, whilst checking the veracity of a quote in an email, I came across this particular quote by Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the Unites States (1953 – 1961).
“Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower
And another…
“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
