Quote by James Madison

Those who are to conduct a war cannot in the nature of things, be proper or safe judges, whether a war ought to be commenced, continued, or concluded.

Those who are to conduct a war cannot in the nature of thing

Summary

This quote suggests that those who are involved in conducting a war cannot be trusted to make impartial judgments about whether the war is necessary, should continue, or come to an end. The inherent nature of being caught up in conflict makes it difficult for individuals to objectively assess and make sound decisions regarding the war's initiation, duration, or resolution. This highlights the potential bias and lack of objectivity that can permeate the decision-making process in war-related matters.
