Quote of the Day

Communist Leon Trotsky, seldom quoted on COTTonLINE, speaking about the ubiquity of war:
You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.
Translation: Neville Chamberlain-style head-in-sand doesn't work. To which I would append the words of Roman Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, quoted here last month:
If you want peace, prepare for war.
