Dwight D. Eisenhower:
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, and the hopes of its children....This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."
Shahidul Alam:
"Only when we build a world that truly respects different civilisations, cultures , races and religions, can we truly hour the dead of 'Ground Zero', as well as those who continue to die."
From the book "My Journey as a Witness" By Shahidul Alam, page 116 about 'Ground Zero". Mr. Alam writes of the importance of a building a civilisation that is not dominated by the G8 countries, who represent only 13% of the worlds population.
