War and fear.
Mar. 20th, 2003 09:44 amJohn F. Kennedy:
"Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can no longer be of concern to great powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by winds and waters and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind."
Bertrand Russell:
"Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd."
