"Then listen to me, Mr. Ambassador," said the President of the United States, "fuck your Parliament and your Constitution. America is an elephant. Cyprus is a flea. If these two fleas continue itching the elephant, they may just get whacked by the elephant's trunk, whacked good.... We pay a lot of good American dollars to the Greeks, Mr. Ambassador. If your Prime Minister gives me talk about Democracy, Parliament and Constitutions, he, his Parliament and his Constitution may not last very long."
Source, easy to find sereral book sources if you search the quote.
Lyndon knew how to deal with the Greeks...... and value the strategic value of the Turks....
I visited Cyprus a few years ago, those people got a raw deal and are still severely pissed of towards the Turks!
