you can quote me on it....

That good guy, DS, has been busy again. Here's a few quotes he offered up:

Another nation is made out to be utterly depraved and fiendish, while one's own nation stands for everything that is good and noble. Every action of the enemy is judged by one standard - every action of oneself by another. Even good deeds by the enemy are considered a sign of particular devilishness, meant to deceive us and the world, while our bad deeds are necessary and justified by our noble goals, which they serve.: Eric Fromm, The Art of Loving, pp. 100–101 (1956).

In the struggle of Good against Evil, it's always the people who get killed.: Eduardo Galeano, The Theatre of Good and Evil, (read more)

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty and democracy?: Mohandas Gandhi.

Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder! Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings! Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction!: Helen Keller. - Source: Told to an audience at Carnegie Hall one year before the United States entered World War I. : Howard Zinn, Declarations of Independence, page 75

And here are a couple more from me:

The enemy aggressor is always pursuing a course of larceny, murder, rapine and barbarism. We are always moving forward with high mission, a destiny imposed by the Deity to regenerate our victims while incidentally capturing their markets, to civilise savage and senile and paranoid peoples while blundering accidentally into their oil wells.: John Flynn, 1944 (Ed: yeah, 1944 !!!)

(read this one with a thick German accent) Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.: Hermann Goering, Nazi leader, at the Nuremberg Trials after World WarII

If you like this sort of thing, there's a whole world of "quotable quotes" out there in Googleland. These last two came from this site, and there's some more to keep you
