among thieves who are too cowardly to fight and who therefore induce the young

armed.

developing a nation's economy than a gun, and nothing blocks the road to social

that peace could be maintained by arranging to defend themselves with weapons
they couldn't possibly use without committing suicide.
-- Stanley Kramer
and John Paxton

then war is not impersonal.

belief in the inevitability of war is a self-fulfilling prophecy... We need an
alternative vision, to see the world as one, as interconnected."
