You are either with us, or you are with the terrorists.
-- President Bush (Chapter 14 paragraph N/A)

Importance: These are the words President Bush says these words in his address on television. At first they excite Jake because he believes in justice, and he wants justice for the attacks. His opinion changes a bit, however, when Bush calls on people to cooperate with the FBI because he knows Mr. Madina has been falsely detained.

If we know something didn’t work in the past, don’t let it happen again. Or if something worked great, stick with that.
-- Jake (Chapter 15 paragraph N/A)

Importance: Jake uses these words to describe to Mrs. Cruz why it is important to know about history. The words are slightly ironic, however, because Jake is incapable of doing this at this point in his own life. He continues to try to enact justice on his own even though he is always the one to get into trouble.

Winning...
