Great CIV QUOTES Wanted!

[Mr. President]

Er, I'm not sure those Hitler quotes are tasteful or appropriate. As for the Sharon one, do you really want to encourage the local anti-Semites?

I think Hitler quates are appropriate here. Because most of them aren't based on fascism/holocaust/anti-semitism (except "ein vok ein reih, ein fuhrer" and maybe one about Chamberlain for a lesser extent). They are just like quoutes said by many other people. I have these quoutes as sigs in many forums and people doesn't knows who said them and they thinks that sigs are very good... And again, Stalin, Mao killed more people then Hitler. I believe 100% middle ages/ancient rulers would also fit in "bad" rulers category, because they used tortuings, ordered armies to kill people, etc. Many of XX age rulers and great politicians also would be "bad" (Mussolini, Tojo, Franco, Castro, Saddam, Omar, Truman to name a few) but this doesn't means we shouldn't use their quoutes.
If however quote is anti-humanic, propagandic (like, for example, "Jews are definitely a race, but they are not human", said by Hitler) I do agree it shouldn't be included. But if qoute have nothing to do with leaders' "bad" sides, then it should be apropriate to include them in my opinion.
As for Sharon quote... Well, I am not American so I don't believe local anti-semitics would care about that...

Nice one, Martin
I bet there are plenty of other good one-liners in the Sucession Game threads that would be suitable, especially from IW's and Hermann's accounts...

This article is my source:

http://www.duke.org/writings/10-03-01.shtml

scroll down a bit and you'll see that quoue...

BTW, I know from what site it is, so there is no reason to insult it again (it was very much disucussed already). I don't think that site makes up facts though (it is anyway not written which years October 8th exacly, so I though it is 2001 because article is about septerber 11th and it is written in late 2001. However, it could be also 2000 or 1999 maybe).
