“Israel's shooting down of a civilian airplane and then the killing of 107 innocent peopel aboard, and their raid into neutral Lebanon are very dangerous developments. There's only one way I can see to stop it...is for the United States to take a very strong stand that this has to be settled...politically settled.” WayI CanStatesStrongUnitedUnited StatesDangerousDevelopmentKillingJewIsraelInnocentOne WayShootingVery StrongAirplaneCiviliansLebanon Author:J.

“If there's any comparison between the compassion and decency of the American people and the terrorist tactics of extremists, it's flawed logic. It's just I simply can't accept that. It's unacceptable to think that there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective.” PeopleIfsThinkingKindChildrenStatesActionAmericaUnitedCompassionAcceptingUnited StatesAchieveBehaviorLogicTerroristObjectivesInnocentIslamicComparisonUnited States Of AmericaTacticsFlawedDecencyExtremistIslamic Extremists Author:George W.

“The fact that other countries spy on their own people or spy on each other does not address the fact that the US is engaged in massive, bulk collection to the tune of 70.3 million telecommunications a month in France of perfectly innocent people. That has nothing to do with protecting the United States, and has nothing to do with really gathering any kind of meaningful intelligence on France. It is an overreach ... and I think the other countries are justifiably outraged ....

“The fact is, I see no compelling reason why we should not unilaterally get rid of our nuclear weapons. To maintain them is costly and adds nothing to our security. I can think of no circumstances under which it would be wise for the United States to use nuclear weapons, even in retaliation for their prior use against us. What, for example, would our targets be? It is impossible to conceive of a target that could be hit without large-scale destruction of many innocent people?” PeopleThinkingShouldI CanStatesReasonFactsUseWould BeUnitedUnited StatesWiseImpossibleSecurityExampleCircumstancesWeaponsDestructionAddNuclearScalesInnocentReason WhyTargetNuclear WeaponsCompellingBeing WiseLarge ScaleRetaliationCompelling Reason Author:Paul Nitze
