Democracies are indeed slow to make war, but once embarked upon a martial venture are equally slow to make peace and reluctant to make a tolerable, rather than a vindictive, peace.
Many of the Western democracies - including the U.S. - have a problem that voters want benefits they don't want to pay for.
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
Being Slow means that you control the rhythms of your own life. You decide how fast you have to go in any context. If today I want to go fast, I go fast. If tomorrow I want to go slow, I go slow. What we are fighting for is the right to determine our own tempos.
Democracies do not go to war. War is not our expression of thought.
Glory is sacrifice, glory is exhaustion, glory is having nothing left to give.
Democracies don't go to war.
The stakes are geopolitical in nature and I believe that democracies are - people want to live in free societies, democracies are the best way to do that, and that if people see democracies in the neighborhood, they'll demand the same thing.
Democracies don't war; democracies are peaceful countries.
I call on the Western democracies and primarily on the leader of the free world, the United States: Do not repeat the dreadful mistake of 1938, when enlightened European democracies decided to sacrifice Czechoslovakia for a convenient temporary solution... Israel will not be Czechoslovakia.
Sociotropic voters with biased economic beliefs are more likely to produce severe political failures than are selfish voters with rational expectations.
It's so easy to be selfish in your 20s and not want to sacrifice.
Anger is just not who I am, and I don't think it's what voters in the 6th district want. They want respectful, decent representation that contrasts so starkly with what we have in Washington.
I want a world without war. War never works it just kills. I want my children to never have to have a close contact with war. I want my children and future generations to grow up free and in a peaceful world. War is not freedom it is a malignant force imposed by men in power. We must change the views of people in power now and let them know that in a diplomatic and peaceful way issues can be solved.
Bizarrely, I've been called selfish for not having children. Surely it's more selfish to have a child when you don't really want a child?
We have to realize that science is a double-edged sword. One edge of the sword can cut against poverty, illness, disease and give us more democracies, and democracies never war with other democracies, but the other side of the sword could give us nuclear proliferation, biogerms and even forces of darkness.
