Meatstick Quiz: Who Said This?

I give you a quote, you try to tell me who said it:

"The weakest must come to the conference table with the same confidence as do we, protected as we are by our moral, economic, and military strength. That table, though scarred by many past frustrations, cannot be abandoned for the certain agony of the battlefield.

Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative. Together we must learn how to compose difference, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose."

You are probably thinking...it has to be either Al Gore, John Edwards, Nancy Pelosi, or Barack Obama.

Well, those are all wrong. Those words came from President Dwight Eisenhower during his farewell address on Jan 17th, 1961. Yes, that same retired 5 star general and Republican President.

This is why you study history.
