The original quotation (which I saw at Yad Voshem in Israel) was from the
Holocaust. It still haunts me.
First They Came for the Jews
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

There is a saying along the lines of:
First they came for group A. I did nothing.
Then they came for group B, I did nothing.
etc..
Now they are coming for me and there is no one left to fight for me.
We need to oppose each and every step. If they target group A, groups B, C
etc.. should all fight like hell to protect group A, while they can fight
together. Otherwise we shall lose each individual battle until we have lost
the war.
God Damn its hard not to draw parallels between Bush and Hitler. What is
the Hitler rule here anyways?
