LEARN FROM HISTORY : DO NOT PERMIT POLITICAL ARROGANCE TO PERPETUATE HUMAN TRAGEDY AND SUFFERING : STOP THOSE WHO START WARS
::::: AMERICA ' s 43. President apparently has ADOPTED this Fatal and Tragic POLICY from one of History's major War Criminals ! ::::: His " Department of Homeland Security " keeps the American People in a constant State-of-Fear, by proclaiming various levels of " Terror Alerts " at all times, while simultaneously denouncing the Anti-War Activists for their supposed Lack of PATRIOTISM (see next photo). ::::: Here and now, his " Rationale ", his Modus Operandi and his Propaganda Machine is exactly the same as *prescribed* in the above quotation. :::::
::What a dark and tragic Portend for the American Civilization and for All the Civilized World.::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
These are just some of the Pacifists who were denounced for "Lack of Patriotism" by right-wing Demagogues, because of their public opposition to war and aggression.

As de Tocqueville said : "When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness."

"When, in all our [American] history, has anyone with ideas so bizarre, so archaic, so self-confounding, so remote from the basic American consensus , ever got so far?" Richard Hofstadter (American Political Historian, 1916 - 1970) Professor Hofstadter won a Pulitzer Prize in history for The Age of Reform from Bryan to FDR (1955).
Although Hofstadter made this comment at a different time in US history, The InstaPLANET Cultural UNIVERSE cites it here as perfectly applicable to the 43.President.
" A function of free speech under our system of government is to invite dispute. It may indeed best serve its high purposes when it induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger. " Justice William O. Douglas (1898 - 1980) For more than 36 years William O. Douglas served as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. Known as a champion of civil liberties he wrote on conservation as well as on history, politics, and foreign relations.

:: BEWARE - The Atrocities Of AGGRESSION ::
While we must never forget, in our heart, the innocent Victims of Terrorism, we must also remember, in our cognitive mind, this time-proven fact :
Fighting militarist acts, such as hijackings and suicide-bombings, with yet more militarist acts, such as waging war on a nation, will only lead to a tragic Escalation of Violence and is guaranteed to cause even more suffering, loss of lives and hatred among mankind.
