"O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our
hearts, go forth to battle – be Thou near them! With them, in spirit, we also
go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord
our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help
us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead;
help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded,
writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of
fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing
grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander
unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst,
sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in
spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and
denied it – for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their
lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their
way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded
feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and
Who is ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His
aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.” Mark Twain, from the War Prayer
"The other thing with the terrorists is you have to
take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out
their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. When they say
they don't care about their lives, you have to take out their
families," Donald Trump. On Fox
