Surely
there are officials in the present administration who
recognize that the United States has been misled
into a war in Iraq,
but who have so far kept
their silence -- as I long did about the war in
Vietnam. To them I have a personal
message: don't repeat my mistakes.
-- Daniel Ellsberg

Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion,
and you allow him to do so,
whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose--and you allow him to make war at pleasure....
If, today, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada,
to prevent the British from invading us,
how could you stop him?
You may say to him,"I see no probability of the British invading us"
but he will say to you,
"Be silent;
I see it, if you don't".
Representative Abraham Lincoln, letter to
William H. Herndon, Feb 15, 1848.
