"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I like Donald Rumsfeld. He's so straightforward and says things with no pretense.

He told the soldiers there cannot be a peacekeeping force on the West Bank, because there is no peace to keep.

A few months ago someone I know was mocking Rumsfeld for admitting that we may not get Bin Laden. It's a big world and he has alot of money and contacts. People don't like hearing truth today. It makes them uncomfortable. Becuase it makes things less clear. If we may not get him, what is the use of war, they may ask. Trying with the possibilty of failure is unacceptable. We apparently are not allowed to act unless the outcome is 100% certain. How these people can cross the street, I don't know.
