<P> The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else, and nobody was going to bomb them . At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naïve theory into operation . They sowed the wind, and now, they are going to reap the whirlwind . </P> <P> The phrase was also used by Norman Tebbit in a 1985 lecture when he condemned the permissive society saying: </P> <P> Bad art was as good as good art . Grammar and spelling were no longer important . To be clean was no better than to be filthy . Good manners were no better than bad . Family life was derided as an outdated bourgeois concept . Criminals deserved as much sympathy as their victims . Many homes and classrooms became disorderly--if there was neither right nor wrong there could be no basis for punishment or reward . Violence and soft pornography became accepted in the media . Thus was sown the wind; and we are now reaping the whirlwind . </P>

Who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind
