Attacked? He made a point with his quote, others made points with theirs. All are valid. As for the rest of your post? It's just as ridiculous as your "assumption" that I was attacking Winston Churchill, lol. You might look up the definition of hope and the effects it has on people, as well as the differing results/effects when one has hope/positive attitude as apposed to not...maybe you'll learn something :)
