To Horace, To Horace!

Poet Horace

The Bush-Cheney administration and its wars validate the words of the poet Horace, written in 23 B.C.:

Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.

Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus)
Odes, Book III, iv, line 65


Iraq wounded


William's Whimsical Words:

Wisdom requires a plan for that which follows the application of force.
