New \ufffdFirst they came for the Communists, but I was not a
Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.\ufffd

First they invaded Afghanistan, then Iraq; then Iran, Syria, Godwanaland, New Jersey - but when you check into the Army Motel, note the {???} for check-out time.
