“All war represents a failure of diplomacy.”

“All diplomacy is a continuation of war by other means.”

“War is an absolute failure of imagination, scientific and political. That a war can be represented as helping a people to 'feel good' about themselves, or their country, is a measure of that failure.”

“When diplomacy ends, War begins.”

“War is primarily not about victory or defeat but about death and the infliction of death. It represents the total failure of the human spirit.”

“To North Korea, diplomacy is another form of war.”

“War represents the supreme failure of nations to resolve their differences. From a strictly pragmatic standpoint, it is the most inefficient waste of lives and resources ever conceived.”

“Take the diplomacy out of war and the thing would fall flat in a week.”

“All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal.”

“… the Peace Treaties must be scrapped … I stand for no more war and no more secret diplomacy.”
