"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

"The deaths of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein meant that the emotional base for military intervention in the Middle East was dwindling. As we moved into late 2011, though, the US government found few people to pinpoint as ‘enemies.’ US national security advisors have insisted that Pakistani leadership knew nothing about bin Laden’s years-long residency in Abbottabad, but the media’s opinion of the circumstance still seems to hint at the idea that ‘they couldn’t have magically missed him.'"
