Jonah Goldberg Quotes About War

• Forests are breaking out all over America. New England has more forests since the Civil War. In 1880, New York State was only 25 percent forested. Today it is more than 66 percent. In 1850, Vermont was only 35 percent forested. Now it's 76 percent forested and rising. In the south, more land is covered by forest than at any time in the last century. In 1936 a study found that 80 percent of piedmont Georgia was without trees. Today nearly 70 percent of the state is forested. In the last decade alone, America has added more than 10 million acres of forestland.

• (I)f France's righteous bloviating against war makes them your Dashboard Saint of International Integrity, it's either because you are sand-poundingly ignorant of how the world works or it's because you think France's self-interest is more important than America's. If the former applies to you, read a book. If it's the latter, maybe you should move there along with Alec Baldwin, Robert Altman, and the rest of the crowd who promised to leave a long time ago. But whatever you do, don't call France's position principled, because that just insults us both.

• En las semanas previas a la guerra para liberar Afganistán, un buen amigo mío me preguntaba casi todos los días: "¿Por qué no estamos matando gente todavía?". Y nunca tuve una buena respuesta para él. Porque una de las cosas más importantes y vitales que podía hacer Estados Unidos después del 11-S era matar gente. Llámalo "respuesta contundente", "acción decisiva", lo que sea. Todos esos son bonitos eufemismos para matar gente. Y el mundo es un lugar mejor porque Estados Unidos vio la necesidad de poner acero bajo el terciopelo de esos eufemismos.
