The great danger of the present age is that democracy may never again
marshal the will to march against and ultimately destroy evil.... in
present-day democratic society... we may simply have forgotten that there
finally must be a choice between good and evil, that the real immorality is
not the use of great force to inflict punishment, but, as the Greeks remind
us, the failure to excercise moral authority at all. -- Victor
Davis Hanson, "The Soul of Battle"
