I'm glad we agree... but this ancient concept of trying to score political points through baseless fear-mongering was raised to a high art by the Bush team, and Democrats seem sadly to be trying to copy the success of these tactics at times.

Power is usurped from the people, first by implementing fear, then it is maintained by slandering as 'unpatriotic' those who refuse submission.

~Ramman Kenoun

This world of ours...must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Every move we make in fear of the next war in fact hastens it.

~Gregory Bateson

War comes from our being immature, fearful, and injured, and not being able to concieve of other ways of solving problems.

~Patricia Sun
