Absolute Security

"We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security" - Dwight David Eisenhower (former U.S. President)

Amazing wisdom in past presidents which seems to be overlooked in the present...

Which gives me pause to ask whether anyone has seen the movie "Good Night and Good Luck"?

Great words of wisdom from Eisenhower there! SO true! And no, I haven't sen that mocie. It's an old one right?

It's currently showing. The movie tells the story of a journalist through the McCarthyist era who decided that he would question the prevailing wisdom of the state in its witchhunt on communists. Disturbing parallels with the current war on terror.
