Dulce Et Decorum Est

May 29, 2006

My concern is that, on this Memorial Day, some of our recent memories needn’t be memories at all:

“The most extravagant idea that can be born in the head of a political thinker is to believe that it suffices for people to enter, weapons in hand, among a foreign people and expect to have its laws and constitution embraced. No one loves armed missionaries; the first lesson of nature and prudence is to repulse them as enemies” –Maximillien Robespierre

(smart guy, but a crazy cat in his own right).
