   I appreciate that Nuke.

   I couldn’t help but think of these words from the Prophet Jermaiah

   …..For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.

   Jer 8:12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

   A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear.
   Marcus Tullius Cicero

   Thanks for posting that, vimto. I had read that long ago and forgotten it. I just used it to fortify a post I made over at B5.

   Hi Nuke. I blogged a great op-ed written by Ralph Peters this morning. You are exactly right.

   Chilling and fitting quote. We should all have that on our bathroom mirrors lest we forget the wisdom of it.
