Are we like the God of the Old Testament that we can decide, in Washington, D.C., what cities, what towns, what hamlets in Vietnam are going to be destroyed? … Do we have to accept that? … I do not think we have to. I think we can do something about it.

Robert Francis Kennedy (1925–1968) American politician

Speech, US Senate (Mar 1968)

Frequently cited as his last Senate speech about the Vietnam War.
