Terrorism

"How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?" -  Howard Zinn

"The violent subjugation of the Palestinians, Iraqis, and Afghans will only ensure that those who oppose us will increasingly speak to us in the language we speak to them-violence." -  Chris Hedges

"There is no moral difference between a Stealth bomber and a suicide bomber. They both kill innocent people for political reasons." -  Tony Benn

"What separates us from the lower animals, what separates us from the chaos, is our ability to mourn people we've never met." -  David Levithan, Love Is the Higher Law
