Do you actually read the post? I was saying that guy Bodek or what ever his name is sounded like Hitler. But then I can see how you can jump top the conclusion that I meant Bush.
"At the Nuremburg trials, Hermann Goering explained the way of the world to an American intelligence officer named Gustave Gilbert. Goering noted that most people in the world, including the Germans, had not wanted war. “But, after all,” he explained, “it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship." Gilbert protested that in a democracy the people had a say in such matters; in the U.S., for example, only the Congress could declare war. "Oh, that is all well and good,” Goering answered, “but, 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 way in any country."
