That is just one of a multitude of pithy bon-mots that has fallen from the lips of the newly elected President of the Czech Republic over the years.
He's been sniffing around the power centers for most of his career. Been a Communist and an anti-Communist, a reformer and a conservative.
Made some headlines years ago for comparing Yasser Arafat to Hitler. Don't know how he would have voted in the great Palestinian Statehood vote at the UN a couple of months back, where his country was one of a small handful to vote against recognizing Palestine as a state.
But given the insights reflected in this title, he's obviously a philosopher like his one-time predecessor Vaclav Havel.
A philosopher and a loose canon. Oh, and he likes his wine and brandy.
The Czech Republic finally has her Churchill!
