“Last night the United States dropped four 2,000 pound bombs on Saddam Hussein. I don't know anything about explosives, but, my God, do those things even need to explode?”

“There is nothing romantic about teargas. Or smoke bombs or rubber bullets or sound cannons.”

“Stop exposing your children to danger by sending them to throw bombs and stones at soldiers and civilians.”

“The real bombs are my books, not me.”
