a cross of iron...

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired,

signifies, in the final sense,

a theft from those who hunger and not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

This world in arms is not spending money alone.

It is spending the sweat of laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children..

This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense.

Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."


President Dwight Eisenhower
