Leon Panetta

Now we ask the question, are you content to enjoy your political freedom at the expense of people who are less free? I think they would... William S. Burroughs

North and South Korea, North and South Vietnam, Northern and Southern Ireland, Yankees and Rebels, uptown and downtown. Somebody please tell me why that is?

A mausolocracy? Anyway, grimly appropriate for a morbid system so many of whose children have died... Christopher Hitchens
