"THERE IS NOTHING GOOD IN WAR..."

"There is no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending."  -Abraham Lincoln

"When I am commander in chief, I will set a new goal on Day One: I will end this war, not because politics compels it. Not because our troops cannot bear the burden -- as heavy as it is. But because it is the right thing to do for our national security, and it will ultimately make us safer." -Barack Obama, March 20th, 2008
