Dwight D. Eisenhower: How far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without?


How far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without?
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
The end does NOT justify the means. Freedom cannot be gained by sacrificing the freedom of others. Free speech cannot be gained by limiting the free speech of others. Human rights cannot be secured by trampling the human rights of others. Viciousness in others cannot be fought by becoming vicious oneself.

Neither individual nor nation can long survive by meeting hatred with hatred, injustice with injustice, prejudice with prejudice.

Imagine what President Eisenhower would have to say about the American military's prisoner torture camp at Guantanamo.
