Vonnegut (who often said "The only difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler was elected") was righteously skeptical about war, having famously survived the only one worth fighting in his lifetime. And it's never been more true: Left or right, Christian or Muslim, those convinced they're doing violence in service of a higher power and against an irretrievably inhuman enemy are the most dangerous creatures of all.
-I really enjoyed this insight. I really enjoyed all of the quotes, they're great. Thanks for the link, any excuse to read Vonnegut will be quickly seized by me. I still have so much of his work left to read and I'm looking forward to it.
