But why have I kept silent till now? 
Because I thought my own origins,
Tarnished by a stain that can never be removed,
meant I could not expect Israel, a land
to which I am, and always will be, attached, 
to accept this open declaration of the truth.
Why only now, grown old,
and with what ink remains, do I say:
Israel's atomic power endangers
an already fragile world peace?
Because what must be said
may be too late tomorrow;
and because – burdened enough as Germans – 
we may be providing material for a crime
that is foreseeable, so that our complicity
will not be expunged by any
of the usual excuses. And granted: I've broken my silence
because I'm sick of the West's hypocrisy;
and I hope too that many may be freed
from their silence, may demand
that those responsible for the open danger we face renounce the use of force,
may insist that the governments of
both Iran and Israel allow an international authority
free and open inspection of
the nuclear potential and capability of both.

Hallelujah!
It works. 
We blew the shit out of them.

We blew the shit right back up their own ass 
And out their fucking ears.

It works. 
We blew the shit out of them.

They suffocated in their own shit!

Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord for all good things.

We blew them into fucking shit.
They are eating it. 

Praise the Lord for all good things.

We blew their balls into shards of dust,
Into shards of fucking dust. 

We did it.

Now I want you to come over here and kiss me on the mouth.

    Harold Pinter 


I don't want to hurt.
See, my position was here.
I mean, as it was, I was...

So, this led to the downfall of man.
I can make seconds feel hours.

I make certain that my head is connected to my body.
No hope? See, that's what gives me guts.
Big fucking shit!
Right now, man.
