Anyone who considers using a weapon of mass destruction against the United States or its allies must first consider the consequences... We would not specify in advance what our response would be, but it would be both overwhelming and devastating.
William J. Perry, American Politician (1927-  )
Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.
Pablo Picasso, Spanish Artist (1881-1973)
All that happens is that the destruction of human beings - unless they're Americans - is called collateral damage.

Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves.

There were no weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein was not involved in the September 11th attack.
Charles Rangel, American Politician (1930-  )
Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case.

The politicians in this world... have at their command weapons of mass destruction far more complex than their own thinking processes.

We were told by the president that we had no alternative but to go into Iraq because of the threat that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction posed, but to date, these weapons have not been found.
Jay Rockefeller, American Politician (1937-  )
But the first the general public learned about the discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction.
Joseph Rotblat, Polish Physicist (1908-2005)
Indeed, the whole human species is endangered, by nuclear weapons or by other means of wholesale destruction which further advances in science are likely to produce.
Joseph Rotblat, Polish Physicist (1908-2005)
The body politic, as well as the human body, begins to die as soon as it is born, and carries itself the causes of its destruction.

Donald Rumsfeld, American Politician (1932-  )
Religions that teach brotherly love have been used as an excuse for persecution, and our profoundest scientific insight is made into a means of mass destruction.
