Good quotes
I found this quote in a science fiction book (4th in a series)... seems applicable to a lot of situations happening right now in the modern world. 

“But what Hank did was plain dumb.  You can’t loose the hounds of war and expect to know the tree those puppies are gonna bark up.  That’s why any smart man does his best to keep those sons ah bitches on a leash.”
--General “Trouble”, in Kris Longknife: Resolute, by Mike Shepherd

Keep the dogs of war on a leash, people-- never know what's gonna go wrong if you let them loose without thorough consideration of the consequences.

BTW-- Mike Shepherd's 'Kris Longknife' series is four books' worth of good reading, so far... Not too hard on the science, but really good characters and characterization, decent plots and situations... good as military fiction too.  Check it out if you haven't already.
