"Once upon a time our traditional goal in war - and can anyone
doubt that we are at war? – was victory. Once upon a time we
were proud of our strength, our military power. Now we seem
ashamed of it. Once upon a time the rest of the world looked to
us for leadership. Now they look to us for a quick handout and a
fence-straddling international posture."
-Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, 1962
