A broadsheet obituarist once pointed out to me that veteran soldiers die by rank. First to go are the generals, admirals and air marshals, then the brigadiers, then a bit of a gap and the colonels and wing commanders and passed-over majors, then a steady trickle of captains and lieutenants. As they get older and rarer, so the soldiers are mythologised and grow ever more heroic, until finally drummer boys and under-age privates are venerated and laurelled with honours like ancient field marshals. There is something touching about that.

The great armies, accumulated to provide security and preserve the peace, carried the nations to war by their own weight.

No war is inevitable until it breaks out.

Is there a chance? A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel? A reason to fight? Is there a chance you may change your mind? Or are we ashes and wine?

There is no compromise when it comes to corruption. You have to fight it.

For great men, religion is a way of making friends; small people make religion a fighting tool.

You must never tire fighting Satan.

It's a different way of looking at the world. Your life isn't about rights. It's about responsibilities."--Mr Bill Berkowitz

True religion, like our founding principles, requires that the rights of the disbeliever be equally acknowledged with those of the believer.

I don't know whether you have any rights before you're born. All I know is that being born again doesn't entitle you to twice as many.
