That's what we
are doing. We are digging our own graves. Previous
civilizations were destroyed by external attack; ours is threatened by a great internal
danger.
If the civilization of the twentieth century is
annihilated, it will be by suicide.
This is what we will have to call it, if there is anyone
left to call it anything.
It is possible this final war may never be written into
human history.
It will take place outside history's ken, because it will
destroy all of humanity.
Those who came before us made history, we are preparing to
unmake it. |
