• We desire peace. However, if imperialism insists on fighting a war, we will have no alternative but to take the firm resolution to fight to the finish before going ahead with our construction. If you are afraid of war day in day out, what will you do if war eventually comes? First, I said that the East Wind is prevailing over the West Wind and war will not break out, and now I have added these explanations about the situation in case war should break out. Both possibilities have thus been taken into account.

  Mao Zedong

• Aborrezco la guerra injusta. Aborrezco la injusticia y el acoso de los fuertes a costa de los débiles, ya sea entre naciones o entre individuos. Aborrezco la violencia y el derramamiento de sangre. Creo que nunca se debe recurrir a la guerra cuando, o mientras, sea honorablemente posible evitarla. Respeto a todos los hombres y mujeres que, por motivos elevados y con cordura y respeto por sí mismos, hacen todo lo posible por evitar la guerra. Abogo por la preparación para la guerra con el fin de evitarla; y nunca abogaría por la guerra a menos que fuera la única alternativa a la deshonra.

• The courage we need is not the fortitude to be obedient in the service of an unjust war, to help conceal lies, to do our job for a boss who has usurped power and is acting as an outlaw government. It is the courage at last to face honestly the truth and reality of what we are doing in the world and act responsibly to change it.

  Daniel Ellsberg

• When war is not just it is subsequently justified; so it becomes many things. In reality, an unjust war is merely piracy. It consists of piracy, ego and, more than anything, money. War is our century's prostitution.

• I am convinced that it is one of the most unjust wars that has ever been fought in the history of the world. Our involvement in the war in Vietnam has torn up the Geneva Accord. It has strengthened the military-industrial complex; it has strengthened the forces of reaction in our nation. It has put us against the self-determination of a vast majority of the Vietnamese people, and put us in the position of protecting a corrupt regime that is stacked against the poor.

  Martin Luther King, Jr.

• Unjust war is to be abhorred; but woe to the nation that does not make ready to hold its own in time of need against all who would harm it! And woe thrice over to the nation in which the average man loses the fighting edge, loses the power to serve as a soldier if the day of need should arise!
