“If these precedents are to stand unimpeached, and to provide sanctions for the continued conduct of America affairs-the Constitution may be nullified by the President and officers who have taken the oath and are under moral obligation to uphold it....they may substitute personal and arbitrary government-the first principle of the totalitarian system against which it has been alleged that World War II was waged-while giving lip service to the principle of constitutional government.” IfsWorldGivingFirstsMayHas BeensWarGovernmentAmericaPresidentMoralPrinciplesTakenConstitutionAffairLipsObligationWar Of The WorldsSubstitutesOfficersWorld War IiWorld War IArbitraryOathSanctionsPrecedentMoral ObligationLip ServiceConstitutional Government Author:Charles A.

“World War II made war reputable because it was a just war. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. You know how many other just wars there have been? Not many.

“Before the Second World War I believed in the perfectibility of social man; that a correct structure of society would produce goodwill; and that therefore you could remove all social ills by a reorganisation of society. .... but after the war I did not because I was unable to. I had discovered what one man could do to another... I must say that anyone who moved through those years without understanding that man produces evil as a bee produces honey, must have been blind or wrong in the head...” MenWorldYearsHas BeensWarEvilSocialUnderstandingProduceBlindMovedStructureWar Of The WorldsRemoveOne ManHoneyWorld War IBeesGoodwillSecond World WarReorganisation Author:William Golding
