Bush/Cheney study history and learn its lessons well. Nazi Germany 1937

Herman Goerring on maintaining power.

�Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of their leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.�

Precisely what our administration has been doing, and to a lesser extent, what the president is trying now.

He dares claim that it is irresponsible to question why we are in Iraq, what we are doing there and whether he lied to us to start his war?

4. Actually, he said that in 1946, but your point stands

http://www.snopes.com/quotes/goering.htm

And he may well have been talking about 1937.

Blair and Bush have updated this, in fact, to "denounce anyone who stands in your way". Sad but true..
