Quotations
"We have seen their kind before. They're
the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing
human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the
will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism.
And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends in history's
unmarked grave of discarded lies." —President
George W. Bush, speaking to a joint session of Congress

lease, flying with engines I built, crashed into a building that I insure, and
