The statement by Paul McCartney that, although he was a pacifist, he couldn’t be at this time of war. Which is as daft as being a vegetarian between meals.

The very thought that war can ever be justified, let alone desirable or even noble, is quite honestly the greatest deception that mankind has ever forced upon himself.

On 11 September 2001, a bunch of Saudis killed almost 3000 US civilians, which led to the construction of a monument in New York City. My question is: Are we also going to build monuments in Kabul, Baghdad, and Tripoli to commemorate the thousands of civilians the US has killed since then? By the way, I should mention that neither Kabul, Baghdad, nor Tripoli is in Saudi Arabia; supposedly, the Saudis are our “friends”, and if you'll forgive the old cliché, with friends like these, who needs enemies?

Why is it acceptable to do such horrible things in the name of staying alive? Would it not have been better had I died with my innocence intact?

I find it significant that most of the people who believe in just war have never fought in one; examples: Barack W. Bush and George H. Obama.

I absolutely hate the way the United States glorifies its military and its wars. Real heroes fight for peace.

If I went on a killing spree that left thousands of people dead, I'd be branded as the worst kind of criminal. So why it is okay for the government to do exactly that?

The idea that war can ever bring freedom is quite possibly the greatest deception that mankind has ever forced upon himself.
