Quote of the day

"You have to help us, because if it was not for us you would now be a province of Nazi Germany[.]"

-- Tom Lantos
Chairman of the House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Committee speaking to Dutch lawmakers.

And I'm ignoring (not quite) the fact he said "if it was not for us" instead of the grammatically correct "if it were not for us".
