Title: Tivia: Who said this and to whom did they say it?
Post by: MuadDib of Dune on May 21, 2002, 08:12:46 PM

Im currently reading a fascinating book.  A quote reached out and grabbed me like a pair of machinegun jubblies.  The quote is especially applicable today, imo, when describing the fight against suicidal fanatical subwits...anyhow, I digress.

Just for fun: Does anyone here have any idea who is being quoted and to whom they are speaking?

combating such lawlessness is justified in going to any lengths to which lawlessness forces the fight.  ""When you know you have a fight with visciousness on your hands, hit first, if you can, and when you do hit, hit to kill.,
