en DICTATOR, n. The chief of a nation that prefers the pestilence of despotism to the plague of anarchy.
  Ambrose Bierce

en REPUBLIC, n. A nation in which, the thing governing and the thing governed being the same, there is only a permitted authority to enforce an optional obedience.

There are as many kinds of republics as there are graduations between the despotism whence they came and the anarchy whither they lead.
  Ambrose Bierce

  George Bernard Shaw

en And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; / Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more: / And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.

en If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be; / What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: / Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;) / That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

en So long as war is the main business of nations, temporary despotism -- despotism during the campaign -- is indispensable.

en And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, / When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests: / And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.

en The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment; / Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin; / And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest: / And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days: / And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.

en I said before the war in Iraq began that the wisest course would be to wage war against Saddam Hussein, not the whole nation of Iraq, ...
