Hatred paralyzes the mind, keeping it in its infancy.

There&#39;s no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

Who would preach at the funeral? This was a question (like who cuts the barber’s hair)

All governments in all wars have used all the means at their disposal to put their own motives, decisions and actions, and the actions of their military forces, in the best possible light.

The media bring our wars home, but only rarely have they been able to do it in complete freedom.

You&#39;ve gotten words about those American and Iraqi deaths and mutilations, but precious few images.

The daily press, the immediate media, is superb at synecdoche, at giving us a small thing that stands for a much larger thing. Reporters on the ground, embedded or otherwise, can tell us about or send us pictures of what happened in that place at that time among those people.

They say the death of a parent puts you in time because that means there&#39;s now no generation standing between you and ordinary death: you&#39;re next. I don&#39;t buy it.
