Richard Belzer invokes Mark Twain.

[11 Bravo]

If you are not familiar with Twain's "War Prayer" this is a must read. Hell, even if you know "War Prayer" it's worth reading again.

2. Samuel Clemens was being sarcastic with that prayer

Man is the only Patriot. He sets himself apart in his own country, under his own flag, and sneers at the other nations, and keeps multitudinous uniformed assassins on hand at heavy expense to grab slices of other people's countries, and keep them from grabbing slices of his. And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood of his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man"- with his mouth.
- "The Lowest Animal" --Samuel Clemens
