“The motivation for war is simple. The U.S. government started the war with Iraq in order to make it easy for U.S. corporations to do business in other countries. They intend to use cheap labor in those countries, which will make Americans rich.”

Michael Moore

Gentlemen, I like war.

Gentlemen, I like war.

Gentlemen, I love war.

I like genocide, I like blitzkrieg, I like aggressive war, I like defensive war, I like sieges,
I like breakthroughs, I like withdrawing, I like cleaning up, I like retreating.

In moors, on highways, in trenches, in plains, on tundra, in desert, on sea, in sky,
in mud, in marshes. I love every aspect of war that takes place on this earth.

I like blowing away the enemy with the thunderous roar of a line of guns going off all at once.
When an enemy is shot to pieces after being thrown high into the air, my heart dances. I like crushing the enemy tank with the 88mm on our tanks. When I mowed down the enemy who fled screaming from the burning tank with a MG, my heart leapt.

I like it when the infantry plow through the enemy's lines with their bayonets all in line.
I remember being moved when seeing new recruits, filled with panic, stabbing an already dead enemy again and again.

Seeing an escapee being strung from a lamp post in the street is unendurably exciting. Seeing a captive be thrown down with a piercing shriek as my own hand fell was spectacular.

When the pitiful resistance came bravely with their small firearms, and we destroyed them and a good chunk of the city with the 4.8 ton bomb, I was at my height.

I like it when we are destroyed with the morning dew. It is a sad thing when the town one is supposed to protect is trampled, and the women and children violated and killed.

I like being squashed and destroyed by England and America's amount of material resources.
Being followed by English and American forces and having to crawl around on the ground like a pesky insect is the ultimate disgrace.

Gentlemen, I desire a war that is like hell.

Gentlemen, my companions in the battalion, who follow me...

Gentlemen what do you desire? Do you desire war as well? Do you desire a war of no mercy?
Do you desire a conflict that stretches the limits of iron, wind, lighting and fire to the limit, one that will destroy all the crows on this planet?

Very well then. I shall give you war.

Jesus, I didn't think that'd kill the thread so hard. Lets carry on from this one?

God made mankind in his own image;
Such the perfectionist for including his flaws. - Me

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

- Epicurius 33 A.D.
