I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.

"Dulce Et Decorum Est"Wilfred Owen, 1917-18
…In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;

"Dulce Et Decorum Est"Wilfred Owen
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,- My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

“Survivors”Siegfried Sassoon, 1917
…No doubt they'll soon get well; the shock and strain Have caused their stammering, disconnected talk. Of course they're "longing to go out again," --These boys with old, scared faces, learning to walk.

“Survivors” Siegfried Sassoon, 1917
They'll soon forget their haunted nights; their cowed Subjection to the ghosts of friends who died, -Their dreams that drip with murder; and they'll be proud Of glorious war that shatter'd all their pride. . . Men who went out to battle, grim and glad; Children, with eyes that hate you, broken and mad.

“First they came for the Jews”Pastor Niemoller
First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up, for I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists, and I did not speak up for I was not a communist.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up for me.
