War Commitment Competition

More From John Kenneth Galbraith

We achieved a deal with the russians that didn't wind up in two days of strikes that would have sent a, quote, "message," but would not have removed the weapons. we struck a deal to get all of the declared weapons out of syria. never before in a conflict has that ever happened, that during the conflict weapons of mass destruction are taken out of the zone of conflict. and thank god we did that, because if we hadn't done that, today isil would have those chemical weapons in large parts of the country.

Usually you just use these words: "i give you my, i make this commitment to you, i honor this idea between us." for me, commitment boils down to honor. because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. you make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. typically, something that is positive. a positive notion of honor.

If you allow someone like saddam hussein to get nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, chemical weapons, biological weapons, how many people is he going to kill with such weapons? he's already demonstrated a willingness to use these weapons. he poison-gassed his own people. he used poison gas and other weapons of mass destruction against his neighbors. this man has no compunction about killing lots and lots of people. so this is a way to save lives and to save the stability and peace of a region of the world that is important to the peace and security of the entire world.

I come out of a cold war sensibility, a cold war mentality, and during those cold war years, i used to know, i thought, the answers to everything. and since the end of the cold war, i'm just a dumb as everyone else.

I'm not sure there can be loving without commitment, although commitment takes all kinds of forms, and there can be commitment for the moment as well as commitment for all time. the kind that is essential for loving marriages - and love affairs, as well - is a commitment to preserving the essential quality of your partner's soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away.

So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.

I was crying for joy, my sassenach,' he said softly. he reached out slowly and took my face between his hands. "and thanking god that i have two hands. that i have two hands to hold you with. to serve you with, to love you with. thanking god that i am a whole man still, because of you.

In our struggle against racial segregation in montgomery, alabama, i came to see at a very early stage that a synthesis of gandhi's method of nonviolence and the christian ethic of love is the best weapon available to negroes for this struggle for freedom and human dignity. it may well be that the gandhian approach will bring about a solution to the race problem in america. his spirit is a continual reminder to oppressed people that it is possible to resist evil and yet not resort to violence.
