Guess who said it..........








"Of course the people don't want war ...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 to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."

























Hermann Goering, one of the original Nazis at his Nuremberg trial in 1946

A little article on just how transparent the Bush regime has become.........almost %40 of Canadians think Bush is a greater threat to peace than Saddam.

'Asked whether U.S. President George Bush or Iraq's Saddam Hussein posed the greatest threat to world security and peace, 65 per cent voted for Saddam.

"Although it's somewhat comforting to know that Canadians think Saddam Hussein is a greater threat," said Graves, "there were sizeable minorities, almost 40 per cent of Canadians, who thought George W. Bush was a more dangerous threat to world security." '

We got around to the subject of war again and I said that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that the common people are very thankful for leaders who bring them war and destruction.

"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, 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."

"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."

"Oh, that is all well and good, 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."

His point is that he suffers from Canadian Geo-political Inadequacy and he's trying really hard to be more like the irrelevent French.
