A Nice Quote

"Which of us knows for sure whether any war ever be 'good?' The conclusion one might well draw from the story told in different ways by these books is that there may never be good wars or just wars, but that there may be necessary wars; and that the war i which Churchill led his country, awful and inexcusable as its means sometimes were, and grim as many of its consequences, really was a 'war of necessity," just as much as the present war in Iraq was not. We should almost be grateful to George Bush and Tony Blair for illuminating the distinction."
