SIGNOFF QUOTE: “War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means. The political object is the goal, war is the means of reaching it, and the means can never be considered in isolation from their purposes.” ~ Carl von Clausewitz Quotes – BrainyQuote (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/c/carl_von_clausewitz.html)
