“There has been a good deal of comment — some of it quite outlandish — about what our postwar requirements might be in Iraq. Some of the higher end predictions we have been hearing recently, such as the notion that it will take several hundred thousand U.S. troops to provide stability in post- Iraq, are wildly off the mark. It is hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and to secure the surrender of Saddam's security forces and his army — hard to imagine.” Has BeensWarEndsHardMightForceDealsImagineSecurityHigherThousandHundredMarkArmyNotionIraqHearingSurrenderSecurePostsCommentStabilityTroopsRequirementsPredictionsSaddamOutlandishSecurity Forces Author:Paul Wolfowitz
“The Tyranni rule fifty worlds; they are outnumbered hundreds to one. In such a position, simple force is insufficient. Devious methods, intrigue, assassination are their specialties.

“Two hundred years ago the forces of freedom challenged this idea. The children of the new enlightenment rose up to defy the tyranny of arrogant clergy and the censorship of pious bureaucrats. They boldly proclaimed that the state must be free from religious coercion and that religion must be free from state control. All individuals have the right to pursue the dictates of their own conscience. All citizens even have the right not to be religious at all.” YearsChildrenTwoIdeasStatesIndividualForceReligiousAtheismCitizensEnlightenmentHundredConscienceYears AgoRoseTyrannyPursueCensorshipArrogantCoercionPiousBureaucratsClergy Author:Sherwin Wine

“There might have been a hundred or a thousand life-bearing planets, had the course of evolution of the universe been a little different, or there might have been none at all. They would probably add, that, as life and man have been produced, that shows that their production was possible; and therefore, if not now then at some other time, if not here then in some other planet of some other sun, we should be sure to have come into existence; or if not precisely the same as we are, then something a little better or a little worse.” IfsMenShouldBelieveLittlesHas BeensDifferentMatterShowsBodyMightUniverseCoursesForceExistenceConsciousnessSunPlanetsEvolutionThousandHundredAddProductionsComplexityMight Have BeenMarvellous Author:Alfred Russel Wallace

“Today's fishing industry supplies land farms with fish as well. Over fifty percent of the fish caught is fed to livestock on factory farms and "regular" farms. It is an ingredient in the enriched "feed meal" fed to livestock.
