Today's Dose of Irony

On my flight to the States yesterday, I heard what may have become my favorite movie line so far.
In the film Blood Diamond, Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou's characters are searching for a diamond buried somewhere in Sierra Leone, each for their own reasons, and they stumble across a village destroyed by RUF rebels. An old man sits in the still smoking ruins, and ask Hounsou what the white man is looking for.

"Diamonds, like the rest of them," Hounsou replies.
The man shakes his head,
"I hope they never find oil here," he says looking over at DiCaprio.
"Then we'll really have it bad."
