If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared. Niccolo Machiavelli

It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver. Niccolo Machiavelli Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions. Niccolo Machiavelli Men are so simple and yield so readily to the desires of the moment that he who will trick will always find another who will suffer to be tricked. Niccolo Machiavelli Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries - for heavy ones they cannot. Niccolo Machiavelli No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution. Niccolo Machiavelli One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived. Niccolo Machiavelli Politics have no relation to morals. Niccolo Machiavelli "A lie repeated a hundred times becomes the truth." -Chairman Mao

some who call themselves realists question whether the spread of democracy in the middle east should be of any concern of ours. But the realists in this case have lost contact with fundamental reality: America has always been less secure when freedom is in retreat; America is always more secure when freedom is on the march. George W. Bush

It is easy for journalists to ride the "iraq is failing" wave and churn out the safe stories that tell us that all is bad. It is much harder for them to make sense of why so many Iraqi policemen and soldiers are fighting back when attacked rather than dropping their weapons and cowering for safety. Something is changing in Iraq, and it is happening despite the serial bungling of Maliki's governemnt or the incessant predications of an american withdrawl. It is happening because more and more Iraquis understand what is at stake should those murderous insurgents win. Nibras Kazimi, an Iraqi writer now living in the US.

George W. Bush thats right, because the only thing America cares about is what is good for America...and damned what the rest of the world wants for itself....

coulda, woulda, shoulda... For much of the last century, America's defense relied on the cold war doctrines of deterrence and containment. In some cases, those strategies still apply. BUT new threats also require thinking, Deterrence-the promise of massive retaliation against nations-means nothing against shadowy terrorist networks with no nation or citizens to defend. George W. Bush

Our soldiers are in the mideast. if the terrosrists want them, they will strike. They are now making the choice to standown or attack. God bless our soldiers for their bravery.

They kill teachers and children, but schools stay open. They kill doctors and patients, but hospitals still function. They kill civil servants, but the ministries are crawling back into operation. They kidnap and murder foreign buisnessmen, but more keep coming. They massacre volunteers for the new army and police, but the lines of those wishing to join grow longer. They blow up pipelines and kill oil workers, but oil still flows. They kill judges and lawyers, but Iraq's new courts keep on working. They machine gun buses carrying foreign pilgrims, but the pilgrims come back in growing numbers. They kill newspaper boys, but newspapers still get delivered everyday. exiled Iranian commentator Amir Taheri

the best way to stop the oppression of others and promote democracy is to remove the oppressor/s b4 they spread their oppression into the area of which you reside
