Truly one of the All-Time best quotes:
In a recent interview, General Norman Schwartzkopf was asked if he didn't think there was room for forgiveness toward the people

His answer was classic Schwartzkopf. He said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is simply to arrange the
meeting."
