[Peace] War

[Karen Aram]

“Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.
War is the parent of armies: from these proceed debts and taxes, and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bring the many under the domination of the few…..No nation could reserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.”

James Madison, "Political Observations,” 1795
