Bush -- Taking a Lesson From Hitler
Quote from Hermann Goering, one of Hitler's top men, mirrors Bush administration policy.
Sounds familiar, don't it?
"Of course the people don't want war... That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, 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. That is easy. All you have to do is 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 any country."
-- Hermann Goering, Adolf Hitler's Deputy Chief and Luftwaffe Commander, at the Nuremberg trials, 1946 from "Nuremberg Diary" by G M Gilbert

It's not just governments. Lots of social movements are successful here.
The ability to entertain dissenting voices is a key trait of liberalism.
