"Of course the people don't want war, but after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it is a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can 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 greater danger".
-HERMANN GORING AT THE NUREMBERG TRIALS
Sound familiar, like 9/11 and weapons of mass destruction. Or to those of us who are a wee bit older, they are going to drop the A-bomb, or the communist plague is spreading around the globe.
I for one am tired of hearing 9/11. Granted it was a tragic event, but give it a rest, we don't need to hear it or read it twenty four-seven.
How many more of our young have to die fighting these terrorists (I am sorry, they don't count, they are not as important as those who died in the towers, they volunteered for this). I don't think they volunteered to die.
Next time someone speaks of 9/11, look up, and see if the sky is really falling.
