Quotes About Attacks

Unlike previous wars, our enemy now is a stateless network of religious extremists. They do not obey the laws of war, they hide among peaceful populations and launch surprise attacks on civilians.

What shall I say of the gallantry with which these Marines have fought!

I cannot write of their splendid gallantry without tears coming to my eyes.

I describe what is happening as 'food fascism' because this system can only survive through totalitarian control. With patents on seed, an illegitimate legal system is manipulated to create seed monopolies. Seed laws that require uniformity - which criminalize diversity and the use of open-pollinated seeds - are fascist in nature.

And attacks on scientists and the silencing of independent research [...] are examples of knowledge fascism.

Rich Indians typically tried to work around a dysfunctional government. Private security was hired, city water was filtered, private school tuitions were paid. Such choices had evolved over the years into a principle: The best government is the one that gets out of the way.

They were dependent on the same public safety system that ill served the poor.
