On September 11, dozens of capable airplane passengers allowed themselves to be overpowered by a handful of poorly armed terrorists because they did not comprehend the depth of hatred that motivated their captors.

I have a friend who's a pacifist. As I said to him, "The world is full of people who only understand that I have a big stick, and if you don't behave I'm going to hit you with it. For every Mother Teresa there are 10 Pol-Pots."

I don't know why it still amazes me how easily people can forget.
History provides numerous "unforgettable" examples of mans capacity for evil,
and yet people worldwide still believe it can't happen to them.
This is the advantage that these people will always have over the rest of us.
Their actions are not restricted by decency or humanity,
they will continue to blindly follow the orders of their leaders
for as long as the world allows them to.
I will not forget,and I will not allow others to.
