About This Quote
Adlai Stevenson once said that the fall of communism in Eastern Europe was more due to prayer meetings than bombing. The truth is that war is often a result of impatience, and those people who pray will be the ones who end up fighting. Prayers won’t change communism, but bombs will change communism.
