Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children... This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

This is not a quotation from Mahatma Gandhi or Martin Luther King or Mother Teresa: it was an eloquent statement in 1953 by the then US President, Second World War hero Dwight D. Eisenhower.
-- The contrast with George W. Bush is stark, and rather disconcerting.
