"Terrorism is the price of empire. If you do not wish to pay the price, you must give up the empire" - Patrick J. Buchanan - Where the Right Went Wrong
"It's
not right to respond to terrorism by terrorizing other people. And
furthermore, it's not going to help. Then you might say, "Yes, it's
terrorizing people, but it's worth doing because it will end terrorism."
But how much common sense does it take to know that you cannot end
terrorism by indiscriminately dropping bombs?" - Howard Zinn - Terrorism and War
"Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism" - Noam Chomsky
"Terrorism
has replaced Communism as the rationale for the militarization of the
country [America], for military adventures abroad, and for the
suppression of civil liberties at home. It serves the same purpose,
serving to create hysteria" - Howard Zinn - Terrorism and War
