His father was an actual terrorist. One of his brothers is Sacha Baron-Cohen's agent. The other brother is a Mengele type of character.

Churchill supposedly said good crisis; no one actually knows when he said it. And the phase predates Churchill.

I agree that it can be used to rally people to do good things rather than bad.

A republican said it a few years ago. Par for the course in politics. They all live by that rule.
