algebraist's Journal: Warriors Words

By using tactics such as the latest Iraqi car bomb which killed Coalition soldiers coming to the aid of a pregnant woman and driver, the Iraqi leadership is blurring the distinction between Iraqi soldiers and civilians. All this is doing is providing the Coalition with justification for defensive tactics which allow no subjectivity at checkpoints, tactics which will result in false alarms and the deaths of innocent civilians.

Consider the words of the essential warriors:

1. "Cowards take hostages -- Klingons do not."
2. "There is nothing shameful in falling before a superior enemy."
3. "Honor is more important than life."
4. "One does not achieve honor while acting dishonorably."
5. "The wind does not respect a fool."
6. "The execution of but one warrior brings shame to all."
