 The best idea is that let us learn from our mistakes and also for the first time let us recognise and accept the fact that the old method of nations confronting each other on the battlefield will not work. A better method is the one presented in the New Theory of War where, we, as citizens of the world shall not give our precious lives into the care of individual madmen who can easily bring devastation to the earth. - By: Desmond Ayim-Aboagye  More Quotes | Submit a Quote |
