It may not exactly be traditional, but it’s “Tradition.” proving once again that, although translations may be imperfect, we still speak the same language.

“Cultures, other than the nomadic desert ones, are not that different. Nomads are like the Clintons . . . ever have a home of their own, and therefore want to rule the world.”
