As the President and Congress fight over the funding for the war in Iraq, I hope and pray that they keep in mind the wise words of Ike:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."Dwight D. Eisenhower
