Great quote. Sounds even better in Italian...
Here's a film recommendation, if none of you have seen it yet: Iraq in Fragments (a documentary that follows several people's lives in different areas of Iraq and how they have been affected by the war.) It's at a limited number of theatres, but well worth a drive if it's not playing close to home. We saw it last week, and it certainly illustrates this quote as aptly as anything can...
