It was my duty to shoot the enemy and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines soldiers buddies. I'm not naive and I don't romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.

The surrealists and the modern movement in painting as a whole seemed to offer a key to the strange postwar world with its threat of nuclear war. The dislocations and ambiguities in cubism and abstract art as well as the surrealists reminded me of my childhood in Shanghai.

We still live with this unbelievable threat over our heads of nuclear war. I mean are we stupid? Do we think that the nuclear threat has gone that the nuclear destruction of the planet is not imminent? It's a delusion to think it's gone away.

This programme to stop nuclear by 2020 is just crazy. If there were a nuclear war and humanity were wiped out the Earth would breathe a sigh of relief.

It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.

The war in Iraq clearly has not turned out in the way that was hoped.

Every day it becomes clearer that this was the wrong war at the wrong time.

I saw clearly that war was upon us when I learned that my young men had been secretly buying ammunition.

The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide.

The time I trust will come perhaps within the lives of some of us when the outline of this science will be clearly made out and generally recognised when its nomenclature will be fixed and its principles form a part of elementary instruction.

While it is clear that we need to make some adjustments to protect Social Security for the long term it is disingenuous to say that the trust fund is facing a crisis.

What we have is North Korea still pursuing path to a nuclear weapon state. So the majority of people's trust in North Korea has gone down considerably.

I believe the main solution is to gain the trust of Europe and America and to remove their concerns over the peaceful nature of our nuclear industry and to assure them that there will never be a diversion to military use.

Never trust any complicated cocktail that remainds perfectly clear until the last ingredient goes in and then immediately clouds.

Rocket scientists agree that we have about reached the limit of our ability to travel in space using chemical rockets. To achieve anything near the speed of light we will need a new energy source and a new propellant. Nuclear fission is not an option.

The need for this clinic is clear to me to the veterans who are currently forced to travel hours to receive care and even to the Veterans Administration that itself identified creation of a clinic in this part of our state as a priority to be completed by 2006.

Travel gives me the opportunity to walk through the sectors of cities where one can clearly see the passage of time.

People with clear written goals accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.

In time it will become clear to everyone that support for the policies of pre-emptive war and interventionist nation-building will have much greater significance than the removal of Saddam Hussein itself.

I did work at a mall in college - I think retail/customer service is just one of the most hideous jobs in the world. So I always try to be extra nice when I go into a store. But malls are part of our culture if you watched any teen comedy in the '80s. it's clear that malls are where we live!

Bear in mind North Korea has been the leading source a leading source of nuclear technology and of missile delivery systems to some of the world's great rogues in Iran and Syria.

I think we can allow the therapeutic uses of nuclear transplant technology which we call cloning without running the danger of actually having live human beings born.

A vital step for the technology sector is to signpost legitimate search options far more clearly and to delete links to sites that promote illegally sourced content.

Nuclear arms and atomic power represent a technology in which coexistence with man is extremely difficult.
