War for oil
"Of course we should go to war for oil. It's like saying, you're going to war just for oxygen, just for food. We need oil. That's a good reason to go to war."
[Ann Coulter, author, April 11, 2011]
Iraq war
"I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil."
[Alan Greenspan, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, in his 2007 memoir]
Chechen war
"You should not believe people who say Chechens are not being exterminated. In this Chechen war, it's done by everyone who can do it. There are situations when it's not possible. But when an opportunity presents itself, few people miss it"
[Maura Reynolds - quoting a Russian soldier, (L.A Times), 17sep2000]

I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness.
