Great writers arrive among us like new diseases threatening, powerful, impatient for patients to pick up their virus, irresistible. Craig Raine
The fact is that as soon as they reach Baghdad gates, we will besiege them and slaughter them. Until now they have refused to do battle with us. They are just going places. One can describe them as a boa: when it feels threatened, it runs to somewhere else. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf
But if our hopes are betrayed, if we are forced to resist the invasion of our soil, and to defend our threatened homes, this duty, however hard it may be, will find us armed and resolved upon the greatest sacrifices. King Albert II
