War coverage should be more than a parade of retired generals and retired government flacks posing as reporters.

Don't worry about the war. It's all over but the shooting.

I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle.

It's an important fact of life, war.

I wrote somewhere during the Cold War that I sometimes wish the Iron Curtain were much taller than it is, so that you could see whether the development of science with no communication was parallel on the two sides. In this case it certainly wasn't.

Of course people don't want war. Why should a poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best thing he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece?

I'm a Bristol person too, I lived in Bristol during the war.

The progressive movement against the war of occupation in Iraq is a reason for hope, as is resistance to free trade agreements in Latin America. Those are moments that we have to celebrate: that people still find the resolve and energy to resist.

Everyone, when there's war in the air, learns to live in a new element: falsehood.

As soon as war is declared it will be impossible to hold the poets back. Rhyme is still the most effective drum.

Politics and war are remarkably similar situations.

I got my head bashed in at a demonstration against the Vietnam War. Police were losing control because they were up against a world they really didn't understand.

They do believe that if we do not wage this war against terror in places like Baghdad and Kabul, we are more likely to have it waged in Baltimore and Kansas.

So I think that our foreign policy, the president's strong and principled leadership when it comes to the war against terror and foreign policy is going to be an asset.

The House of Peers, throughout the war, did nothing in particular, and did it very well.
