We are in a war in Iraq, before that, we were in a war in afganastan, currently its looking like we're going to go to war with Iran.
Why are we in those wars? is it because Bush had credible information that Iraq is dangerous?? or is it based on this philosophy?
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.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Göring during the Nuremberg Trials.
The idea that perpetual war and fear prevent free thought and grant political administrations wider control is by no means new.
it was explored therouly in the book 1984.
It was exploited by the Nazies, In 1937 Hitler orderd the reichstag set ablaze, he then blamed the jewish people, this led to him being named dictator.
Closer to home, Bush is using the same principals to pass the patriot.
