Competition Weapons Chosen

More From Edsger Dijkstra

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.

The book can't compete with the screen. it couldn't compete beginning with the movie screen. it couldn't compete with the television screen and it can't compete with the computer screen i don't think. and now we have all those screens so against all those screens i think the book can't measure up.

I don't want to use the term "nuclear weapons" because those people in iran who have authority say they are not building nuclear weapons. i make an appeal to the countries who do have nuclear weapons. they don't consider them a nuclear threat. but let's say a country that doesn't have nuclear weapons gets involved in building them, then they are told by those that already have nuclear weapons that they oppose [such a development]. where is the justice in that?

It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society, as men do, than to compete for dominance in her own home with her husband, compete with her neighbors for empty status, and so smother her son that he cannot compete at all.

Yes, i think lots of people are eager to obtain weapons of mass destruction. but there's no evidence that he has weapons of mass destruction. there's been no evidence of him testing nuclear weapons. we have people that are in our face with nuclear weapons. we've got iran and north korea. we've got a problem with pakistan. you know, i don't know what to say about that. there's a whole lot of people that are going nuclear. and i think that saddam hussein is actually, with the evidence, the least able to use nuclear weapons and the least obvious offender in that area at this moment.

In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. when we worry less about ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. what does this tell us? firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. for it is these which provide both for our happiness and others' happiness.

I see now our fireside formed into a groupe, no one member of which has a fibre in their composition which can ever produce any jarring or jealousies among us. no irregular passions, no dangerous bias, which may render problematical the future fortunes and happiness of our descendants.
