I found this interesting quote on Tundra Tabloids site. A quick check, revealed it is indeed credited to Winston Churchill, who was almost always shown with a cigar in his hand or between his teeth.
It is said that during lunch with Arab leader Ibn Saud, when he heard the king's religion forbade smoking and alcohol, he replied...
I must point out that my rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after, and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them...
If only the leaders of today had the fortitude of Churchill, who, for all his flaws remains one of the great names of our times.
Instead we see an array of mealy mouthed, self-serving, boot-lickers pandering to the despots of the world. They send billions of dollars and arms to third world rulers who immediately pocket the money and turn the weapons against their own people. The only hard line world politicians take are against their own citizens...and of course, Israel...it is always Israel.
