#1 "Look, Madam Secretary, we are fighting a war that is imposed on us," journalist Shirazi told Clinton. "It's not our war. That was your war, and we are fighting that war."

I'm sure the Mexican government said something along the same lines when the US Army put enough pressure on the Apaches raiding from Mexican territory that they felt it was easier just to loot local Mexicans than cross the Rio Grande. Mexico City wouldn't give us the time of day while the Apache were raiding here. When it came home, then they took notice that they were part of the solution.

#2 "You had one 9/11, and we are having daily 9/11s in Pakistan,"

The Jews?

(Isn't that the default answer anywhere in the Muslim world...even places like Malaysia, where I doubt there are any Jews to start with?)
