I like the first quote "winning hearts and minds, meet yihaaa"
"That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
-Eric "George Orwell" Blair
"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
(Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).

Is anyone still wondering why the US has failed in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
Re: Switzerland About To Vote On Minaret Ban
I don't think it's fair to paint off the majority of Swiss as racists. Ultimately, a minaret is just a feature of a building. Some probably voted for the ban because they think minarets don't match the surrounding architecture.
What was the wording of the referendum, anyway?
