"My point is, if another country does to us what we do to others, we‘re not going to like it very much. So I would say that maybe we ought to consider a golden rule in — in foreign policy. ... We endlessly bomb . . . these countries and then we wonder — wonder why they get upset with us? And — and yet it — it continues on and on. This idea that we can‘t debate foreign policy, then all we have to do is start another war? I mean, it‘s — it‘s warmongering. ... They‘re building up for another war against Iran, and people can‘t wait to get in another war. This country doesn‘t need another war. We need to quit the ones we‘re in. We need to save the money and bring our troops home.

Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we all have knives! It's 1183 and we're barbarians! How clear we make it. Oh, my piglets, we are the origins of war: not history's forces, nor the times, nor justice, nor the lack of it, nor causes, nor religions, nor ideas, nor kinds of government, nor any other thing. We are the killers. We breed wars. We carry it like syphilis inside. Dead bodies rot in field and stream because the living ones are rotten. For the love of God, can't we love one another just a little - that's how peace begins. We have so much to love each other for.
