All my pains has always increased my sense of purpose.
Our masters have not heard the people’s voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.
Saddam’s politics was the politics of the thug, of violence from the outset of his reign. Realism suggests that some people are not going to be tractable in response to purely peaceable overtures. Indeed, it certainly appears that some individuals, including notably Saddam Hussein, will cheerfully help themselves to a yard for every inch offered by well-meaning peacemakers.

Do not lose yourself in the storm, instead, be the calm in the storm.
