Will Rogers Quote

"You can have all the advanced war methods you want, but, after all,
nobody has ever invented a war that you don't have to have somebody
in the guise of soldiers to stop the bullets."

-- Mike, Norwalk
Wouldn't it be cool if we could do wars with paintball, and if you got shot you would just have to go home?  -- Mike, Mount Holly, NC
Make sure politicians' children are sent to war first -- that'll make then think twice about invading other lands in the name of peace.  -- E Archer, NYC
Great idea! Send their children first, then the politicians. It would truly be a short war.  -- Joe, Rochester, MI
Sadly our hi-tech wars have an element of the moral discontent that paint wars would allow. Our children/soldiers who play and are trained with video games to fight an enemy that goes poof at the press of a button is right up there with the fact that there is no draft--americans cannot fathom what this war is like on the ground for most Iraqis and are lulled into a moral indifference to suffering and our responsibiltiy for it. Will Rogers' political wit was really amazing, a mid century version of Chris Rock.  -- EGL, LA
