Moment "Let him wish his life For the sorrows of a stone Never knowing the first thread Of these Never knowing the pain of ice As its crystals slowly grow Needles pressing in on the heart To live forever And never feel a thing To wait a million lifetimes Only to erode and become sand Wish not for the stone But for the fire Last only moments But change everything Oh to be lightning To exist for less than a moment Yet in that moment To expose the world to every open eye Oh to be thunder To clap and ring To rumble into memories Minds and spines To chill the soul and shake the very ground Pounding even the sand Into smaller pieces Or the mountain Brooding, extinct Yet gathering for one fatal moment The power to blow the top clean off the world Oh to last the blink of an eye and leave nothing But nothing unmoved behind you" - By Vincent Guiliano January 9, 1991

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
