More From Dwight D. Eisenhower

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.
Men Mass Destruction People
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?
Country Iran People
In the arts of life main invents nothing; but in the arts of death he outdoes nature herself, and produces by chemistry and machinery all the slaughter of plague, pestilence and famine. ... there is nothing in man's industrial machinery but his greed and sloth: his heart is in his weapons.
Death Art Nature
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.
Thinking Mass Destruction Iran
The pleasure of hating, like a poisonous mineral, eats into the heart of religion, and turns it to ranking spleen and bigotry; it makes patriotism an excuse for carrying fire, pestilence, and famine into other lands: it leaves to virtue nothing but the spirit of censoriousness.
Hate Heart Land
The right of individual property is no doubt the very corner-stone of civilization, as hitherto understood; but i am a little impatient of being told that property is entitled to exceptional consideration because it bears all the burdens of the state. it bears those, indeed, which can be most easily borne, but poverty pays with its person the chief expenses of war, pestilence, and famine.

That was my big break [lonesome dove]. my first real kind of adult role on something really well-written. it was a spin-off of the miniseries, and i played col. mosby, a very dangerous, southern colonel in post-civil war, wandering the west.

Our national determination to keep free of foreign wars and foreign entanglements cannot prevent us from feeling deep concern when ideals and principles that we have cherished are challenged.

No mercy for these enemies of the people, the enemies of socialism, the enemies of the working people! war to the death against the rich and their hangers-on, the bourgeois intellectuals; war on the rogues, the idlers and the rowdies!
