There is no horror, no cruelty, sacrilege, or perjury, no imposture, no infamous
transaction, no cynical robbery, no bold plunder or shabby betrayal
that has not been perpetrated by the representatives of the states,
under no other pretext than those elastic words,
so convenient and yet so terrible:
"for reasons of state".
No hay horror, ni crueldad, sacrilegio o perjurio, ninguna impostura, no infame
de transacción, no el robo cínico, en negrita o no el saqueo miserable traición
que no ha sido perpetrado por los representantes de los estados,
bajo ningún pretexto que no sean las palabras elásticas,
tan cómodo y tan terrible:
"por razones de Estado".
