"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people.
"The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."
—James Madison, Political Observations, Apr. 20, 1795 in: Letters and Other Writings of James Madison, vol. 4, p. 491 (1865)

20 years ago, boasts like the following were laughed at and dismissed. Today they are not, because the momentum and numbers belong to Islamists in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Italy, France, and soon the US, where there are more than 6,000 mosques.
"The Future Is Ours – Their 'Nightmare Of A Muslim Europe Will Come True'; America And Russia Will Be Muslim Countries; We Must Stand Firm, Never Apologize Or Compromise Our Faith.
"Every EDL [English Defence League] nightmare of a Muslim Europe will come true. They can be as mad as they want, I don't care. America will be a Muslim country, Russia will be a Muslim country, Islam will enter every house, inshallah, but we have to be a part of that change."
-- San Diego Imam Uthman Ibn Farooq In Birmingham, UK Lecture
