“During bombing raids in Iraq, the media liked to say that Saddam Hussein used people as human shields.”

George Carlin (1937–2008) American stand-up comedian

Kirby Page (1890–1957) American clergyman

Must We Go to War? (1937)
Context: Bombardment, air raid and blockade constitute the most revolting forms of atrocity because they are not deeds of violence committed under the momentary, blinding influence of fear or passion, but are deliberately premeditated processes of devastation, mutilation and slaughter of men, women and children without regard to guilt or responsibility.
