During World War II, a Catholic museum director and his Muslim colleague saved the book from a Nazi officer who came to pick it up.

The two men spirited the book through Nazi checkpoints and carried it to a village in the mountains above Sarajevo, where a Muslim cleric kept it hidden beneath the floor of a mosque until the war ended.

It was then returned to the museum safe.

When Bosnia's war erupted in 1992, the museum was on the front line. Braving Bosnian Serb sniper fire, a museum official crawled to the gallery, picked up the Haggadah, crawled back and hid the manuscript in a safe at the National Bank.

The lesson is that you war mongers, hate mongers, fascists, racists can do your worst. But no matter how many humans you snuff, heroes will preserve humanity. Soon enough you will die -- at least from old age, the final justice -- and we will spit on your graves and celebrate the continuation of humanity.

Evil punks like Milosevich, Cheney, Saddam Hussein, Ashcroft, Bin Laden, Noreiga, the Bushes and their ilk can seize power and flail against progress. Lott can dream of segregation. Neil Bush can cost the taxpayers of America a billion dollars and get away clean to scam the taxpayers another day. Cheney can kill some more tens of thousands of Iraqis.

But before long, humanity will bury you, and continue to progress.
