In the Arena
1990
Richard Nixon, Republican President
Chapter 38, "War" page 344
"The principle threat we face involves aggressors who go under, not over, the border. Our adversaries in the Kremlin have mastered the techniques of subverting our friends and allies by supporting revolutionary forces."
Bonus :
Nixon quoting De Gaulle
Page 344
"War stirs men's hearts the mud of their worst instincts. It puts a premium on violence, nourishes hatred, and gives free rein to cupidity. It crushes the weak, exalts the unworthy, bolsters tyranny...[but] had not innumerable soldiers shed their blood there would have been no Hellenism, no Roman civilization, no Christianity, no Rights of Man....War is the worst of plagues but has made the world as we know it."
