Providing Material Support

Famous quotes containing the words providing, material and/or support:

    When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops. Some may see in this a tidy metaphor for the entire relationship between north and south. But it would make a whole lot more sense nutritionally—as well as providing infinitely more vivid viewing—if the Somalians could be persuaded to eat the troops.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    He looked as if he wished to rive new war material out of the wombs of the mothers.
    —Anonymous. Quoted in Ellen Key, War, Peace and the Future, ch. 9 (1916)

    At the Carter Center we work with victims of oppression, and we give support to human rights heroes.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
