"WE MUST MEET THE FORCES OF HATE WITH THE POWER OF LOVE;
WE MUST MEET PHYSICAL FORCE WITH SOUL FORCE."
Martin Luther King
"Indeed, the Pentagon is now doing everything possible to give us the
impression that war will come in a tidy little package. Even the words
are neat and tidy- body bags are not body bags anymore. That's too messy.
That conjures up all the wrong images - images of blood and pain and suffer
ing. Now body bags are 'human remains pouches'. There, America, doesn't
that make you feel better? Your sons and doughters and mothers and fathers
will have their faces blown off, their limbs torn apart, their chests ripped
open, but they won't come home in body bags. They'll come home in neat and
tidy human remains pouches."
Mark 0. Hatfield
