Feature: Crossroads

Posted from Pax Americana....a brillant piece....see it whole @ http://www.paxamericana.net/

"You may have heard the phrase "Nuclear Giants and Ethical Infants" before.

It's attributed to Gen. Omar Bradley. Enjoy these quotes and reflect upon their message, if you will:"

The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience.

Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.

We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.

The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.

Wars can be prevented just as surely as they can be provoked, and we who fail to prevent them, must share the guilt for the dead.

With the monstrous weapons man already has, humanity is in danger of being trapped in this world by its moral adolescents."
