Foi o que o camarada Estaline fez, e viu-se o resultado...

Na Última Hora do Público:
Interpelado pela plateia da Fundação Mário Soares sobre se, seguindo esse raciocínio, também defendia o diálogo com o ex-ditador alemão Adolf Hitler, na II Guerra Mundial, o ex-Presidente e ex-primeiro-ministro disse que, "se fosse necessário falar com Hitler para evitar um ano de guerra, valia a pena"

"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
