Political Progress Sufficient

More From David Petraeus

I am worried about this word, this notion - security. i see this word, hear this word, feel this word everywhere. security check. security watch. security clearance. why has all this focus on security made me feel so much more insecure? ... why are we suddenly a nation and a people who strive for security above all else?
Insecure People Focus
We have a media that goes along with the government by parroting phrases intended to provoke a certain emotional response - for example, "national security." everyone says "national security" to the point that we now must use the term "national security." but it is not national security that they're concerned with; it is state security. and that's a key distinction.

Every ignoramus imagines that all that exists, exists with a view to his individual sake; it is as if there were nothing that exists except him. and if something happens to him that is contrary to what he wishes, he makes the trenchant judgement that all that exists is an evil.
Views Evil Judgement
But let not the foundation of our hope rest upon man's wisdom. it will not be sufficient that sectional prejudices find no place in the public deliberations. it will not be sufficient that the rash counsels of human passion are rejected. it must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation's humble, acknowledged dependence upon god and his overruling providence.
Passion Humble Men
In stage i, divorces were not allowed, so men's [sexual] affairs did not put women's economic security in jeopardy; in stage ii, affairs could lead to divorce, so men's affairs did place women's economic security in jeopardy. we did not want political leaders who would be role models for behavior that would put women's economic security in jeopardy.
Divorce Men Role Models
The social progress, order, security and peace of each country are necessarily connected with the social progress, order, security and peace of all other countries.

Many of our own people here in this country do not ask about computers, telephones and television sets. they ask - when will we get a road to our village.

What is love of one's country; is it hate of one's uncountry? then it's not a good thing. is it simply self-love? that's a good thing, but one musn't make a virtue of it, or a profession...insofar as i love life, i love [my country], but that sort of love does not have a boundary-line of hate. and beyond that, i am ignorant, i hope.
Country Hate Love Life
To fight aloud, is very brave— but gallanter, i know who charge within the bosom the cavalry of wo— who win, and nations do not see— who fall — and none observe — whose dying eyes, no country regards with patriot love— we trust, in plumed procession for such, the angels go— rank after rank, with even feet— and uniforms of snow.
Country Fall Eye
I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our country's peril. in time of war, the government and the press have customarily joined in an effort based largely on self-discipline, to prevent unauthorized disclosures to the enemy. in time of "clear and present danger," the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the first amendment must yield to the public's need for national security.
