In the early spring of 1940, half a year after Germany invaded Poland, but during a falsely hopeful period called the phony war that preceded the major Anglo-German hostilities of World War II, Winston Churchill spoke to the House of Commons. He told them that "I will not make any prophecies about the future, which is doubly veiled by the obscurities and uncertainties of war ... We must not boast, or speak in terms of vain conceit and overconfidence ... [But] we trust in God and in our own arm uplifted in a cause which we devoutly feel carries with it the larger hopes and harmonies of mankind."

I’ll have a orange christmas without you
I’ll be so orange just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green christmas tree
Won’t be the same dear, if you’re not here with me

Interesting. Aljazeera had some more detail about Saddam's name being stricken from the genealogy of Muhammed, recently.
