"Surely our inaction with respect to Syria is a poor precedent if we’re fighting a war on terror." ― Bill Kristol Topic(s): Respect More From Bill Kristol "In any case, decisions on troop levels in the American system of government are not made by any general or set of generals but by the civilian leadership of the war effort." "There will be trying times during Obama’s presidency, and liberty will need staunch defenders. Can Obama reshape liberalism to be, as it was under F.D.R., a fighting faith, unapologetically patriotic and strong in the defense of liberty? That would be a service to our country." "Conservatives shouldn’t count on the Supreme Court to do our work for us on Obamacare. The Court may rule as it should, and strike down the mandate. But it may not. And even if it does, the future of health care in America – and for that matter, the future of limited government – depends ultimately on the verdict of the American people." More In Respect "My stories are about humans and how they react, or fail to react, or react stupidly. I’m pointing the finger at us, not at the zombies. I try to respect and sympathize with the zombies as much as possible."― George A. Romero "Terrorism can never be accepted. We must fight it together, with methods that do not compromise our respect for the rule of law and human rights, or are used as an excuse for others to do so."― Anna Lindh "I get the feeling people respect me and that there is affection for me. That makes me happy."― Andres Iniesta
