Terrorism, to me, is the use of terror for political purpose, and terror is indiscriminate murder of civilians to make a political point.
Al Franken

Hamas, they are using civilians' lives, they are using children, they are using the suffering of people every day to achieve their goals. And this is what I hate.
Mosab Hassan Yousef

To live, mankind must recover its essential humanness and its innate divinity men must recover their capacity for humility, sanity and integrity soldier and civilians must see their hope in some other world than one completely dominated by the physical and chemical sciences.

Even during the years of the Cold War, the intense confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, we always avoided any direct clash between our civilians and, most certainly, between our military.
Vladimir Putin

Whenever you have a war, the civilians and the innocents will pay the price. That's in any war, any war is a bad war.

Those who had alleged that a million civilians were dying from sanctions were willing, nay eager, to keep those same murderous sanctions if it meant preserving Saddam!

If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the I.R.A. for it.

Historically, when a leader has deployed his own military against civilians, it's never been good. There's never been a time where it's ended well.

In Leading with Honor, Lee uses gripping stories from the POW camps to engage the reader and teach invaluable principles of leadership. I highly recommend this book for developing leaders at all levels in any organization, military of civilian.

There is a language barrier between vets and the civilian population. They speak different languages.
George W. Bush

The issue of terrorism must be dealt with firmly. We must work very hard to avoid loss of life. We must work very hard to avoid civilian casualties. And those terrorists and Baathists are holding the people of Fallujah hostage. We must release the hostages.
Ahmed Chalabi
Image
There are a lot of things that are said by people in the military, or civilian life, or in the Congress, or in the Executive Branch, that are their views. And that's the way we live. We're a free people. And that's the wonderful thing about our country.

You cannot use [nuclear weapons] to target civilians you cannot use them against military targets if they have indiscriminate effects on civilians in addition to the attack on the military target.

As in any war, there have been dreadful mistakes and civilian casualties. The difference is when Israelis kill innocents they apologize when Hezbollah kills innocents they celebrate.

Veteran art creates a meeting place between veterans and civilians, or simply between veterans with different experiences.

The moral difference between a soldier and a civilian is that the soldier accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic of which he is a member. The civilian does not.

Iraq is a strange country. Where else can American civilians like me be protected by terrorist human shields?
Michael Totten

It seems perverse to focus too much on the casualties or hardship in Afghanistan ...[Showing the misery of Afghanistan ran the risk of] promoting enemy propaganda...we must talk about how the Taliban are using civilian shields and how the Taliban have harboured the terrorists responsible for killing close up to 5,000 innocent people.
