OT - A quote Shrub should read |
Or if he has read it (if he can read...), he is ignoring it.
I ran across this while searching for Tom Lehrer's quote about
Kissinger. Kirkpatrick said it about Vietnam yet is even truer
today in the Middle East and as witnessed in South and Central
America.
Bob Dog
"Vietnam presumably taught us that the United States could
not serve as the world's policeman; it should also have
taught us the dangers of trying to be the world's midwife
to democracy when the birth is scheduled to take place
under conditions of guerrilla war."
- Jeane Kirkpatrick, 1979

By this "reasoning" we should never bother to oppose any sort of
tyranny, since any tyrant can wage guerrilla warfare.

Nobody wins in these wars. Even in the world wars, the greates news was
"The War is Over".

No good would have come from declaring an end to WWII in 1943.

Being a fan of Lehrer, I looked: do you mean this quote?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A907517
But when the highly controversial US politician Henry Kissinger was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973, Lehrer announced his retirement
from songwriting, feeling that the award of the prize to Kissinger was
more outrageous than anything a satirist could create.
Lehrer declared: 'It was at that moment that satire died. There was
nothing more to say after that.

Rethugnicans are incapable of either learning or humanity.

Hello, theocracy with a fundamentalist US Supreme
Court who will ensure church and state are joined
at the hip like clergy and altar boys.
