Quote:The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.Great quote, Churchill rocks. BUT, how does Saddam Hussein pose a threat to my "own personal safety"? Or more importantly, perhaps, is my own personal safety in more danger if we declare war on Iraq, than it would be if we don't? I still don't buy Bush's rhetoric...he can hold all the televised pep rallies he wants, but in the end, I wouldn't fight his war, especially after the war on personal freedom he's waged and won against his own citizens...
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.
