Where do we get minds like these, eh . . . ? I think I will stick with Churchill’s assessment: “The history of man is war.” Nobody across the world has given up war, Mr. Turner; if anything, even the “big, intelligent, well-educated countries” so-called are embracing war more than ever.

Something like that was said prior to WWI. Nations were too industrialized to go to war.

Ted Turner, Prodded by CNN, Calls for Nuclear Disarmament; Says “War Is Just About Over With”

With the introduction of the machine gun it was widely thought that war was now too terrible to contemplate. That was just prior to WWI. Then they came up with poison gas which intellectuals said would never be used because it was too terrible to contemplate. Those same intellectuals said that war was impossible because the countries of Europe were to interconnected with business and finances.
Let’s not forget, “With this paper bearing Herr Hitler’s signature, I give you peace in our time.”
Mr. Turner seems to lack imagination and any historical perspective. He also seems to have missed the point that Islam is about obliterating all things non-Islamic, which includes, well, everybody he knows.

Given the nature of Iran’s government, the first person who gets the bomb and then decides not to use it will be replaced by somebody who will. Therefore, the first person to get control of it will use it immediately.

An opportunity for a bit of Thursday-night Kipling:

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

Why not let a lunatic dictate national defense policy?

How much worse can it be than allowing leftwing academic ideologues setting policy?

Disarming our nuclear capability will guarantee WW3 and our complete destruction. ANYONE who attempts this needs to be taken out IMMEDIATELY with EXTREME prejudice as the traitor they would be.

Isn’t this the same Ted Turner whose butt buddies include Bill Ayers? Yep, someone to take seriously.

Senility is a sad thing to watch.

The world has never seen the likes of war that is going to commence before the return of The Lord. The beginnings of which may be starting in the M.E.

He’s really rather typical—something that many self-described conservative political folks appear to be ignorant of.

If Turner thinks war is “over”, he might try reading the Bible (but of course he would consider himself above that). Moron.

I hear North Korea wants to put flowers in their hair and go to San Francisco ... and Iran wants to make love not war. It’s all possible in the La La land of Ted Turner and CNN...
