Obama (Remarks by the President at the Acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize, December 10, 2009):
But as a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation, I cannot be guided by their examples alone (nota: ossia ML King e Gandhi).
I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people.
For make no mistake: Evil does exist in the world.
A non-violent movement could not have halted Hitler's armies. Negotiations cannot convince al Qaeda's leaders to lay down their arms. To say that force may sometimes be necessary is not a call to cynicism -- it is a recognition of history; the imperfections of man and the limits of reason
G.W. Bush (State of the Union Address, January 29, 2002):
States like these (nota: Iraq, Iran, and North Korea), and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic.
