At the podium

I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Je ne puis me taire; car, mon âme, tu entends le son de la trompette, le clameur de la guerre!

Jeremiah 4:19

For the love of God, for the love of your children and of the civilization to which you belong, cease this madness. You are mortal men. You are capable of error. You have no right to hold in your hands -- there is no one wise enough and strong enough to hold in his hands -- destructive power sufficient to put an end to civilised life on a great portion of our planet.

George Kennan (1904 -2005)
