Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

2. Personally I prefer the Litany of Coffee |

It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of java that thoughts acquire speed. Hands acquire shaking. The shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion.
I wonder what Frank Herbert would have made of the war in Iraq.
Hostile land - Arrakis/Iraq Highly Prized resource - Spice/Oil Hostile Natives - Fremen/Iraqis Mad family in charge - Harkonen/Bush
Which kind of begs the question, where are the Atreides?

But we (the US) are the Atreides, at least under the reign of Alia the Abomination.
Now what we need is a Leto II to come along and lead us upon the Golden Path.
