Michael G. Kramer
“Thickly forested regions of Phuoc Tuy including the Rung Sat swamps and farms considered to be controlled by the Vietcong, were regularly sprayed by defoliants including “Agent Orange” using aircraft. This was both an inhumane and unsuccessful strategy which only destroyed enough food to feed 245,000 Vietnamese people for a year resulting in a propaganda gift to the Vietcong. (Ham, 2007). Given that defoliation did not uncover the enemy, who kept on fighting from jungle, caves and tunnels, the whole defoliation programme must be considered a failure. Given also, that birth defects and other health problems associated with defoliants can be directly blamed upon “Agent Orange”, it stands to reason that the allies in the Second Indochina War who sprayed it upon villages and farms can in fact be said to be, “Guilty of War Crimes!”
Michael G. Kramer, A Gracious Enemy

Jane Austen
“Could there be finer symptoms? Is not general incivility the very essence of love?”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Before you step into the realm of the spirit through spiritual warfare, and against any demonic attack against you, there is something you must do: You must establish a foundation in Christ.”
John Ramirez, Conquer Your Deliverance: How to Live a Life of Total Freedom

Mark M. Bello
“Because for her, money isn’t the issue. This is about revenge, payback, even worse, justice.”
Mark M. Bello, Betrayal of Faith

Daniel Defoe
“Though this was all but a fiction of his own, yet it had its desired effect; Atkins fell upon his knees to beg the captain to intercede with the governor for his life; and all the rest begged of him, for God’s sake, that they might not be sent to England.”
Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe
