You don't have to have fought in a war to love peace.

It's a sad day when the leaders of the free world engage in such deception and trickery. I voted against this unnecessary war and will continue to argue that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home.

World War I broke out largely because of an arms race, and World War II because of the lack of an arms race.

One nuclear war is going to be the last nuclear - the last war, frankly, if it really gets out of hand. And I just don't think we ought to be prepared to accept that sort of thing.

World War II, the atomic bomb, the Cold War, made it hard for Americans to continue their optimism.
