"We will reap the whirlwind"

Friedman goes in my "Gets It" column. (see here)

Reminds me of this line, from Ivan Cooper: "I just want to say this to the British Government... You know what you've just done, don't you? You've destroyed the civil rights movement, and you've given the IRA the biggest victory it will ever have. All over this city tonight, young men... boys will be joining the IRA, and you will reap a whirlwind."

Update: If you mistakenly read that quote as supportive of the IRA, rent the movie* or read up on Cooper. It's powerful in context, and grittily wise.

* Thick brogues, but push on, keep listening/watching...
