“At a time when the threat of nuclear arms is again increasing, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to underline that this threat must be met through the broadest possible international cooperation. This principle finds its clearest expression today in the work of the IAEA and its Director General. In the nuclear non-proliferation regime, it is the IAEA which ensures that nuclear energy is not misused for military purposes, and the Director General has stood out as an unafraid advocate of new measures to strengthen that regime.” TodayPurposeEnergyWishPrinciplesMilitaryExpressionArmsMetsDirectorsThreatInternationalNuclearCooperationRegimesCommitteesNobelProliferationUnafraidMisusedNorwegiansNuclear EnergyNuclear ArmsInternational Cooperation Author:Mohamed ElBaradei
“The commander must decide how he will fight the battle before it begins.

“The war is not going well and it is time to say why. It has been fought with half-measures. It has been fought with an eye on the wishes of our "coalition partners." It has been fought to assuage the Arab "street." It has been fought to satisfy the diplomats rather than the generals... Why have we not loosed the B-52s and the B-2s to carpet-bomb Taliban positions? And why are we giving the Taliban sanctuary in their cities? We could drop leaflets giving civilians 48 hours to evacuate, after which the cities become legitimate military targets.” GivingWellsHas BeensWarEyeWishHoursCitiesHalfStreetsMilitaryPositionPartnersBombsTargetCarpetCiviliansSanctuaryTalibanCoalitionsDiplomats48 HoursHalf Measures Author:Charles Krauthammer

We owe them not just thanks and best wishes, but action, and action in our nation's capital.” IfsWorldMindWarCareActionOpportunityForceNationsWishSleepAbilityKnowingTakenSacrificeMilitaryThanksNightmarePeace Of MindTroopsLimbsOur TroopsMilitary ForceBest Wishes Author:John F.
