"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."

Sadly, when Ron Paul mentions those who have fallen victim to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he consistently refuses to cite the most innocent of the victims -- not the invading and meddling soldiers that he never fails to mention, but the poor destroyed people who have fallen victim to U.S. foreign policy by the tens of thousands (and in the case of Iraq, many hundreds of thousands). Is it just a "slip," pandering to his audience, or simply because they do not vote or otherwise count in his political calculus?
