We first fought the heathens in the name of religion then Communism and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change.

The fact that religion plays such a part in how people vote troubles me troubles me as a minister's daughter. Because I always felt that the separation of church and state was what our forefathers and foremothers really fought for.

But the cause for which we fought was higher our thought wider... That thought was our power.

Unless we do things in this country to slow down our population slow down our birth control provide better water for people provide power for people we're gonna find out that the next wars are not going to be fought over diamonds gold and political things.

I fought for peace in the fifties.

You don't have to have fought in a war to love peace.

The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.

The mobilisation which Bush has been able to perform since 11 September 2001 has to be fought - at least by Americans - in the name of a wise honourable and democratic patriotism.

I feel like I'm a fighter. I've fought my whole life to get to where I'm at. I like fight movies. When someone gets knocked down I like to root for him to succeed.

When you try to find funding for a VVA function it doesn't seem like it's any trouble at all. People come out of the woodwork with their money to help out because we went over and fought a war.

Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men between brothers?

Wars may be fought with weapons but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.

That is why I fought against abortion and that is why if I were still in the Senate I would be doing everything I could to defend the sanctity of marriage.

The battle was first waged over the right of the Negro to be classed as a human being with a soul later as to whether he had sufficient intellect to master even the rudiments of learning and today it is being fought out over his social recognition.

The Chinese leadership hoped that the world would soon forget the Tiananmen Square massacre. Our job in Congress is to ensure that we never forget those who lost their lives in Tiananmen Square that day or the pro-democracy cause for which they fought.

I feel fantastically excited that we have a leader who fought for the leadership without compromising his quite challenging view that the party has to change.

I saw the president make the tough calls in the Situation Room - and today our troops in Iraq have finally come home so America can do some nation building here at home. That was the change that we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
