Saddam Hussein was a bad guy. Right? He was a bad guy, really bad guy. But you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn’t read them the rights—they didn’t talk, they were a terrorist, it was over. […] Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism. You want to be a terrorist, you go to Iraq. It’s like Harvard. Okay? So sad.Donald Trump at a campaign rally (July 5, 2016)
So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.Ecclesiastes 9:16 NIV
