Betty Williams: "The insanity of what's going on militarily in the world has got to be challenged."

I have to sit in rooms with men who justify military budgets by telling me it's for defense...

No doubt the dead and dying are very gratified they're defending them so well.

The insanity of what's going on militarily in the world has got to be challenged...

To look forward to a demilitarized world is not for idealistic fools. They call us idealistic fools. I've been called many names, but that's one I object to the most. It's not idealistic to say that the world must begin to live together without guns or bombs or better and bigger ways to destroy each other...
