    “The blood of Abraham, God’s father of the chosen, still flows in the veins of Arab, Jew, and Christian, and too much of it has been spilled in grasping for the inheritance of the revered patriarch in the Middle East. The spilled blood in the Holy Land still cries out to God—an anguished cry for peace.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
    And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold:”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
