Edward De Bono is the man who, 40 years ago, coined the phrase “lateral thinking” and this is what he has to say about Iraq:

With the help of lateral thinking (wikipedia definition), many issues that dominate the political agenda could move beyond stalemate. “Look at Iraq. If the US said it was going to leave on a certain date, then for every week without any killings, the date would move forward, and for every week with a killing, the later and later the date would be delayed. This way, those who killed wouldn’t be seen as heroes but those keeping the Americans in the country.”

And now for a couple of amusing quotes:

1) “Discovery consists of seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no-one else has thought”

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, 1893-1986
Hungarian Scientist

2) “Old Professors never die, they just lose their faculties”

Stephen Fry, 1957-
English writer and actor
