Because I know history quite well I know that this happened again and again and again and people aways fall for this schtick.

“Naturally the common people don’t want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, 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. 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 peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY.”

You can say about the Nazis whatever you want but they rarely sugarcoated things.
Doesn´t matter anyway because neither they nor Bush invented the whole routine, it is as old as the sun.

Conspiracies are not successful. The way to brainwash a nation is to whip people up into a nationalistic, political, or religious (read dogmatic) fervor, and then tightly control the media, so you have a country of apologists.

…China anyone?
The US? Remember 2003?[/quote]
China? Since 1950?
And correct me if I’m wrong, but no one was jailed in the US for five years for “publishing subversive material”.
(Not saying the US doesn’t act brainwashed from time to time, but at least we have the freedom to dissent, and it certainly doesn’t last long. You would be hard pressed to find anyone actively opposed to the government here in China among the ordinary citizen.)
