If we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything.
H. G. Wells
Image
A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.
