The original Latin of the expression “if you want peace prepare for war” comes from “Epitoma Rei Militaris,” by Vegetius. The Latin is: “Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum.”

" “Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum.”"

Id est, "The best defense is a good offense."

Seems to me GW and Sarkozy did more at that Kennebunkport BBQ than munch burgers.

Sarko might just give the troops a little urban warfare training during the upcoming strikes.
