“Here's the truth: the Soviet Union had thousands of nuclear weapons, and Iran doesn't have a single one. But when the world was on the brink of nuclear holocaust, Kennedy talked to Khrushchev and he got those missiles out of Cuba. Why shouldn't we have the same courage and the confidence to talk to our enemies? That's what strong countries do, that's what strong presidents do, that's what I'll do when I'm president of the United States of America.” WorldCountryStatesAmericaStrongPresidentUnitedEnemyUnited StatesWeaponsUnionsNuclearIranSovietHolocaustNuclear WeaponsUnited States Of AmericaSoviet UnionCubaMissiles Author:Barack Obama

“In our struggle against racial segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, I came to see at a very early stage that a synthesis of Gandhi's method of nonviolence and the Christian ethic of love is the best weapon available to Negroes for this struggle for freedom and human dignity. It may well be that the Gandhian approach will bring about a solution to the race problem in America. His spirit is a continual reminder to oppressed people that it is possible to resist evil and yet not resort to violence.” PeopleHumansWellsMayProblemChristianAmericaSpiritEvilLove IsRaceStruggleViolenceStageApproachWeaponsSolutionsEthicsDignityMethodAvailableNonviolenceOppressedRemindersResortsSegregationHuman DignityAlabamaSynthesisMontgomeryChristian EthicsStruggle For FreedomRacial Segregation Author:Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Some of the same self-certified smart people, who preached about mushroom clouds and weapons of mass destruction, are once again trying to stampede us into war.

“We can drift along as though there were still a cold war, wasting hundreds of billions of dollars on weapons that will never be used, ignoring the problems of people in this country and around the world, being one of the worst environmental violators on earth, standing against any sort of viable programs to protect the world's forests or to cut down on acid rain or the global warming or ozone depletion. We can ignore human rights violations in other countries, or we can take these things on as true leaders ought to and accept the inspiring challenge of America for the future.” PeopleWorldHumansStillsWarCountryProblemEarthAmericaUsedChallengesLeaderAcceptingPowerEnvironmentCuttingRightsWorstIgnoranceColdOughtProtectWeaponsRainProgramStandingDollarsEnvironmentalHuman RightsBillionsForestsIgnorantAround The WorldGlobal WarmingOther CountriesCold WarViolationAcidTrue LeaderOzoneAcid RainOzone Depletion Author:Jimmy Carter
