“War and occupation create innocent victims.”
Why We Must Not Reelect President Bush (2004)
Context: War and occupation create innocent victims. We count the body bags of American soldiers; there have been more than 1000 in Iraq. The rest of the world also looks at the Iraqis who get killed daily. There have been 15 times more. Some were trying to kill our soldiers; far too many were totally innocent, including many women and children. Every innocent death helps the terrorists' cause by stirring anger against America and bringing them potential recruits.

“Capable, generous men do not create victims, they nurture them.”
[Julian Assange: Why the world needs WikiLeaks, TED: Ideas Worth Spreading, www.ted.com, July 2010, 2010-07-22, http://www.ted.com/talks/julian_assange_why_the_world_needs_wikileaks.html]

“Society creates the victims that it afterwards vainly attempts to get rid of.”
Anarchism and Other Essays (1910), The Traffic in Women
“Intent is a reflection of the spirit's desire to create in the material world.”

As quoted in "Pope at Mass: Culture of encounter is the foundation of peace" at Vatican Radio (22 May 2013) http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2013/05/22/pope_at_mass:_culture_of_encounter_is_the_foundation_of_peace/en1-694445

Context: The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this commandment at heart: do good and do not do evil. All of us. "But, Father, this is not Catholic! He cannot do good." Yes, he can. He must. Not can: must! Because he has this commandment within him. Instead, this "closing off" that imagines that those outside, everyone, cannot do good is a wall that leads to war and also to what some people throughout history have conceived of: killing in the name of God. That we can kill in the name of God. And that, simply, is blasphemy. To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.
