To this day the Arab influence is evident in southern Italy, northern Africa and, above all, in Spain.

The failure of Christianity in the areas west from Sicily was even greater, and was increased by the spread of Arab outlooks and influence to that area, and especially to Spain.

I can't say any more about the power of the Olympics and what it does. Sponsors are looking past Italy to a degree because this is a way to crack China. The American public isn't looking at that. They don't care. We like winners, that's just part of our culture. That's why the Olympics resonates so well.

Washington is a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm.

Based on the considerations of history, ancient history, and international axioms, the logic of following up a citizen with his shadow for the purpose of the demarcation of political frontiers of any state has been discounted for international conventions. For example the Arabs cannot ask Spain just because they were there some time in the past nor can they ask for any other area outside the frontiers of the Arab homeland

Thus, the use of fiat money is more justifiable in financing a depression than in financing a war.
