In the seventeenth century, Isaac Newton famously formulated his First Law of Motion, stating that in the absence of outside forces, an object at rest will stay at rest, and a body moving at a constant velocity in a straight line continues doing so indefinitely.

How Bush ruined a good case for war with Iraq
