Quotations

It is hard to imagine anyone but a believer in American exceptionalism concluding that U.S. military operations in the past 15 years have been applied wisely. It is equally as hard to believe that more of the same kind of 'wise application of military force' will actually lead to peace in the Middle East.” (Bloomfield Life, Jan. 29, 2016)

“Our culture of violence needs to be transformed to a culture of peace.” (NorthJersey.com, April 10, 2012; photo essexethical.org)
