“Almost 30 years before Rwanda, before Darfur, more than 2 million people - mothers, children, babies, civilians - lost their lives as a result of the blatantly callous and unnecessary policies enacted by the leaders of the federal government of Nigeria. It's this charge that's dominated the book's Nigerian press, so far as I can see, the accusation, on the one hand, that Awolowo hatched "a diabolical policy to reduce the numbers of his enemies significantly through starvation - eliminating over two million people, mainly members of future generations.” PeopleYearsChildrenI CanTwoBookHandsGovernmentMotherLostResultsNumbersLeaderEnemyMillionsGenerationsPolicyBabyMembersPressesUnnecessaryFederal GovernmentFuture GenerationCiviliansStarvationNigeriaAccusationEliminatingRwandaDiabolicalCallousMother ChildDarfur Author:Chinua Achebe
“I have a recurring daymare that when the Glorious People's SWAT Teams smash their way in, most of us - by which I mean members of the general freedom movement - will be caught flatfooted, sitting in our underwear behind our computer monitors, guzzling Jolt and gorging on Cheetos, while arguing with our friends and enemies online about immigration or abortion, two of the issues that the Lefties know they can always rely on to keep that general freedom movement divided and powerless.” PeopleKnowsWayMeanTwoBehindsEnemyIssuesTeamMovementMembersComputerSittingCaughtArguingImmigrationRelyGloriousAbortionOnlineDividedPowerlessUnderwearRecurringFriends And EnemiesLefties Author:L.

“No attempt of any kind must be made at rescuing members of ships sunk, and this includes picking up persons in the water and putting them in lifeboats, righting capsized lifeboats, and handing over food and water. Rescue runs counter to the most primitive demands of warfare for the destruction of enemy ships and crews. Be hard, remember that the enemy has no regard for women and children when he bombs German cities.” KindChildrenPersonsMadeHardRunningRememberWaterCitiesEnemyDemandMembersDestructionRegardShipsBombsRescuePrimitiveWarfareCrewLifeboatsHanding Over Author:Karl Donitz
“Consensual paranoia - the pathology of the normal person who is a member of a war-justifying society - forms the template from which all the images of the enemy are created.

“A man once jumped from the top floor of a burning house in which many members of his family had already perished. He managed to save his life; but as he was falling he hit a person standing down below and broke that person's legs and arms. The jumping man had no choice; yet to the man with the broken limbs he was the cause of his misfortune. If both behaved rationally, they would not become enemies.” IfsMenPersonsChoicesFallHouseCausesEnemyHe ManBrokenArmsMembersStandingLegsBurningBrokeMisfortunesJumpingLimbsBurning HouseStanding Down Author:Isaac Deutscher
“What's the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there's cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.” PeopleReasonPastPoorChristianityEnemyClassToo MuchMembersDespairNegativeMeatPoisonSkepticismFrozenLambsBeefUpper ClassScepticismChilledCanterbury Book:The collected works of Aldous Huxley Source: The collected works of Aldous Huxley

“War is then not a relationship between one man and another, but a relationship between one State and another, in which individuals are enemies only by accident, not as men, nor even as citizens, but as soldiers; not as members of the fatherland, but as its defenders. Finally, any State can only have other States, and not men, as enemies, inasmuch as it is impossible to fix a true relation between things of different natures.” MenDifferentWarStatesIndividualEnemyImpossibleCitizensMembersRelationSoldierAccidentsOne ManDefendersFatherlandTrue Relation Author:Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“Some countries such as Iran and Syria are using the commotion to distract attention from their own problems with the international community.
