Words of Wisdom: It is a common peculiarity of manmade phenomena that, unlike natural phenomena, they are influenced (sometimes very strongly) by what we think or say about them. Thus the answer to the allimportant questions (no longer philosophical ones) of whether civilization will be destroyed by a global war, or whether war will persist as a chronic or recurring condition in human affairs, or whether war will be eradicated, may depend in no small measure on how people think, talk, and write about war, i.e., on which philosophies of war will prevail. -- from Anatol Rapoport's introduction, Penguin edition of Clausewitz' On War Let Us Consider Our Responsibilities Blind to History!
