weaker form with the positive object."

revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very
destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method
of settling international disputes."

"Wars are caused by undefended wealth."
- Ernest Hemingway
"The sinews of war are five - men, money, materials, maintenance (food) and
morale."

crime."
