Some interesting quotes:

The Arsenals of Democracy:

The arsenals of democracy are deep. We are not anywhere near
running out. We can fight this for months and months, if not
years.

-- Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Harry Shelton

Historically, the weather is better in May than in April,
better in June than in May, better in July than in June.

A reason why geography should be re-introduced in the American public
school system:

NATO had destroyed the last remaining bridge over the Danube in
the city of Novi Sad: Kosovo is becoming even more isolated from
Serbia.

over Danube necessary to reach Kosovo from Belgrade)
--------------------------------------------

The reverend Solana speaking:

Bombardment of Yugoslavia is an attempt to defend moral values
21st century Europe would cherish.

-- Xavier Solana

...

We do know that we must do more to reach out to our children and
teach them to express their anger and to resolve their conflicts
with words, not weapons.

pilot from a democratic country.
