Ants are among the most warlike of creatures. Their foreign policy has been described as "restless aggression, territorial conquest, and genocidal annihilation of neighboring colonies whenever possible. If ants had nuclear weapons, they probably would end the world in a week."
- Bert Hollbroder and Edward O. Wilson, Journey to the Ants: A Story of Scientific Exploration, quoted in Strategy: A History by Lawrence Freedman
