John le Carré: The night manager

"When I get to run the world—I’m going to tell all the arms dealers and

shit scientists, and all the smooth salesmen who push the crazies one step

further than they thought of doing because it’s good for business, and all

the lying politicians and the lawyers and accountants and bankers, and

I’m going to put them in the dock to answer for their lives. And do you

know what they’ll say? “If we hadn’t done it someone else would have.”
