Robert M. La Follette's Quotes

Every nation has its war party... It is commercial, imperialistic, ruthless. It tolerates no opposition.

If there is no sufficient reason for war, the war party will make war on one pretext, then invent another... after the war is on.

In times of peace, the war party insists on making preparation for war. As soon as prepared for, it insists on making war.
