In war, truth is the first casualty.
~Aeschylus
Any excuse will serve a tyrant.
~Aesop
What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.
~Aldous Huxley
Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.
~Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
War is the unfolding of miscalculations.
~Barbara Tuchman
Those who give up essential liberties for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
~Benjamin Franklin
Terror is a tactic. We can not wage “war” against a tactic.
~Ron Paul
The moral and constitutional obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people.
~Ron Paul
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

A good house cleaning in politics should be a top down operation finishing at the bottom. The way we are approaching it now is, we throw out the trash can first then try to figure out what to do with the trash. War should be approached in the same manner I feel.
