45. War is easy; diplomacy is hard.

And chickenhawks take the easy way, by sending working people to do their dirty business rather than leading in diplomacy and self-examination. They play to the grandstands, appealing to the worst kind of fearful nationalism, when they ought to be reinforcing what is best about America: tolerance, hard work and progress.
