PETER HITCHENS ON RULERS [PRO DEATH PENALTY QUOTE OF THE WEEK ~ SUNDAY 18 NOVEMBER 2012 TO SATURDAY 24 NOVEMBER 2012]





QUOTE: Rulers are not given their power to shed blood so that they can use it to make themselves feel good, or seek to raise their poll ratings. They are given it so that they can protect their own citizens from peril and subjugation. (Quoted in The Daily Express 5 April 1999)
