In 1939 Nazi Leader Herman Goering said,

"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no
voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. "

boy did he hit that one right on the head. discuss

Except we have been attacked. So it's not like the Bush administration is "telling" us anything. It's fact.

Grandpappy Prescott Bush sure did have some smart business partners there, didn't he?

[wacki]

Bush = Nazi.... How many times have I heard this from complete nutcases.

Not going to waste my time discussing this.

If you want to actually learn something about dangers to civilization read:

1) Civilization and it's enemies: by Lee Harris (atleast first 6 chapters)
2) Lexus and Olive Tree: Thomas Friedman

Try reading the Congressional Record when Congress seized some of Prescott's nazi war booty profits.
