Been reading up on Kissinger a bit of late; the man brought forth some great quotes.
"In the process we lost sight of one of the cardinal maxims of guerrilla war: the guerrilla wins if he does not lose. The conventional army loses if it does not win."
"The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision. Each side should know that frequently uncertainty, compromise, and incoherence are the essence of policymaking. Yet each tends to ascribe to the other a consistency, foresight, and coherence that its own experience belies. Of course, over time, even two armed blind men can do enormous damage to each other, not to speak of the room. "
"Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy"
Maybe Satis won't agree with the latter, but I liked it nonetheless given Kissinger's position and power when he uttered it.

it's so sad. When I lived in Germany there would be advertisements with completely naked women. Something like that here would cause people to hemorrhage.

argh, 42! I demand your geek card!
The company I work for, a lot of the backdoor and admin passwords for the hardware we sell is 42 in some way, shape or form. I find that quite amusing.
