"Bagaimana Anda menggambarkan perbedaan antara perang modern dan industri modern - antara katakanlah, pemboman dan penambangan strip, atau antara perang kimia dan manufaktur bahan kimia? Perbedaannya tampaknya hanya bahwa dalam perang, viktimisasi manusia secara langsung disengaja dan dalam industri "diterima" sebagai "pertukaran". Apakah bencana Cinta Kanal, Bhopal, Chernobyl, dan episode Exxon Valdez tentang perang atau damai? Mereka sebenarnya, tindakan agresi masa damai, disengaja sejauh risiko diketahui dan diabaikan."

How would you describe the difference between modern war and modern industry-between say, bombing and strip mining, or between chemical warfare and chemical manufacturing? The difference seems to be only that in war the victimization of humans is directly intentional and in industry it is "accepted" as a "trade-off." Were the catastrophes of Love Canal, Bhopal, Chernobyl, and the Exxon Valdez episodes of war or of peace? They were in fact, peacetime acts of aggression, intentional to the extent that the risks were known and ignored.
