Atrocities Committed Quotes

• Everybody who has dealt with China over an extended period of time has come to more or less the same conclusions. There are nuances of differences, but not fundamental differences. I think that President Bush was heading in this direction, and I have no doubt that he will again wind up in this position. But right now he has to be preoccupied with the atrocity committed in New York and Washington.

• Atrocity is recognized as such by victim and predator alike, by all who learn about it at whatever remove. Atrocity has no excuses, no mitigating argument. Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity. It is self-perpetuating upon itself - a barbarous form of incest. Whoever commits atrocity also commits those future atrocities thus bred.

• Una cosa es decir que no se cometan atrocidades en el campo de batalla. Otra cosa es decir que no te pillen cometiendo atrocidades.

• Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them. There is almost no kind of outrage-torture, imprisonment without trial, assassination, the bombing of civilians-which does not change its moral color when it is committed by 'our' side. The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.

• Los partidarios de la guerra preguntan constantemente a los que se oponen a ella: ¿Por qué no deploras las injusticias y atrocidades cometidas por el otro bando? La respuesta, por lo que a mí respecta, es que deploro las injusticias y atrocidades cometidas por el otro bando. Pero soy responsable de los errores y atrocidades cometidos por nuestro bando. Y ya no puedo participar en la suposición de que las atrocidades cometidas por control remoto son menos censurables que las cometidas a distancia. Me preocupan más los obstáculos estadounidenses a la paz porque soy estadounidense.

• We are behaving like people without compassion and love for the most vulnerable section of society. The children of the universe are without a spokesperson, they are voiceless...We are all touched by the atrocities committed against children: sexual, physical abuse, child slave labor, educational neglect. We feel ashamed. Angry. Appalled. But there is no action...No action.

• He investigado las atrocidades cometidas por el ejército japonés en Nankín y en otros lugares. Los relatos verbales de testigos oculares fiables y las cartas de personas cuya credibilidad está fuera de toda duda ofrecen pruebas convincentes de que el ejército japonés se comportó y sigue comportándose de una manera que recuerda a Atila y sus hunos. No menos de 300.000 civiles chinos fueron masacrados, muchos a sangre fría.

• The nineteenth century planted the words which the twentieth century ripened into the atrocities of Stalin and Hitler. There is hardly an atrocity committed in the twentieth century that was not foreshadowed or even advocated by some noble man of words in the nineteenth.

• It has never happened in history that a nation that has won a war has been held accountable for atrocities committed in preparing for and waging that war. We intend to make this one different. What took place was the use of technological material to destroy a defenseless country. From 125,000 to 300,000 people were killed... We recognize our role in history is to bring the transgressors to justice.

• Religion is good, as it controls the people that don't have the intelligence to make worthwhile decisions. However, it could be debated as to whether this makes up for the atrocities committed by these people.
