In September, 2001, everybody I knew wanted to attack the middle east. I knew very few people that were against this. However, this is a prime example of how people are easily manipulated.

Nazi's used a particular tactic.
1. A common person does not want to go to war.
2. Those in charge who determine policy are the ones who will go to war, and drag the common people into it.
3. It is not difficult to convince the common person to want war. Just make it seem like you are the ones being attacked. And then make them seem wrong for not wanting to fight back.


"Nazi leader Hermann Goering, interviewed by Gustave Gilbert during
the Easter recess of the Nuremberg trials, 1946 April 18, quoted in
Gilbert's book 'Nuremberg Diary.'

Goering: Why, of course, the people don't want war. 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.

Gilbert: There is one difference. 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.

Goering: 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 in
any country."

You are oversimplifying. Most people were for attacking those who were responsible for 9/11. They used Afghanistan as their home. Since the Afghan government continued to shield them, that government was attacked and overthrown. Unless you call Afghanistan part of the middle east, what you are saying is just plain wrong.

When it came to the attack on Iraq, there was a lot of opposition. The Bush administration created a climate of concern by deceiving the American public into believing there were WMD's in Iraq, even though there were UN inspectors on the ground who hadn't found any. Among those who were opposed to the Iraq war then was our next president.

I don't think most Americans really wanted to attack Iraq or Afghanistan after we found out the hijackers came from Saudi Arabia. Its really a testament to how dumb most Americans are that they stood behind the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think in both of those cases Bush attacked without congressional permission. Congress could have pulled back the troops at any time by cutting the funding but they gave Bush his wars... Both sides of the aisle signed up for these wars. What does that tell you?

The Nazis did the exact same thing as the US government did, but they did it like 70 years ago.

Here's another quote:
An evil exists that threatens every man, woman, and child of this great nation. We must take steps to insure our domestic security and protect our homeland.

That is the exact justification we used to create homeland security. However, that quote was by Hitler when he created gestapo.

Same exact thing. Eitherway, I was alone for being against it because everybody I knew and everybody around me were for it. People are pathetic stupid and totally short sighted.

This war is a sham, and a total cash cow. It is meant to continue. Our next black president will not do shit about it. This war will continue making more and more money for the rich. All the while furthering their goals of control over that region's resources and slaves.
 
The whole point is that we all know that America was not actually attacked by any crazy muslims. There is no debate in that. The point is that the same tactics that the Nazi's used to justify their imperialistic conquest is the exact same thing USA did. Attack yourself. Blame some enemy. Then watch as the population not only allows you to go to war, but begs you to.
 
yeah, attack yourself.

What is so good about going to war? The economy worldwide is down and rich people always make money but they make more money when the economy is good. That is an old wives tale due to the fact that during WW2 so many advancements were developed out of necessity.

Control and making more money. Countless benefits for those in power. More money and power basically over other regions basically.

And the next black person in office is not going to end the war. The point is to create a war that can never have an ending so that money can keep flowing in. Perpetual war was the intent from the beginning. It always is. Hitler didn't succeed in WW2. USA is succeeding now where Hitler failed. Who knows who will stop the USA.
 
“Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.”
 
I don't care if Hitler said it, sometimes your country really is attacked, like Hitler attacked England. Should the English not have gone to war against Germany?

I agree that Bush and Co. used nazi-like tactics to go to invade a country that didn't attack us, but there was also a group called the Taliban in Afghanistan that shared the blame in the 9/11 attacks. It was justified to do something about that.

You say that you were opposed because many were for it? Are you just a contrarian? Or did you know at the time that American politicians had conspired to murder their constituents?
 
Have they ever actually given any evidence for any of these claims? Because when the Taliban asked them, over and over, they refused to do so.

I've personally never seen any evidentiary link for all the so-called reasons for either the Iraq or Afghanistan invasion. Besides, what does it say when the mindset of war is considered superior to the application of law?

Now you have the Afghan revolutionary forces that will carry out terrorist attacks around the world.

Well it is obvious that you are not a fighter, that is what Hitler hoped for. You are not a fighter so you blame other people because they have more initiative to acquire wealth. Becoming wealthy is like anything else, there is no mystery to it and it is just what some people are into.

Personally i am what is considered poor but that is because i never had the fire in me to become rich and i dont think yo do either but you cannot fault those who do and its these people who also bring innovations. You like to reap the rewards but you dont want to work for it. No one is going to hand you money just because you exist, sure you can live off welfare but...:shrug:

So who's fault is all your problems? The answer you will find is when you look in the mirror.

During the first 2 weeks of 911, I was completely opposed because I have intuition about truth and foresight. I wasn't sure if the stories about muslims being behind the collapse were true. But I was 100% sure that us attacking them is not the correct method of dealing with a terrorist attack. It is completely absurd.

If anybody outside of our country actually declared war on us, and invaded our lands. We defend, and attack their lands. That is one thing. But if some Muslim organization operating within our country was responsible, I dound it blatantly absurd for us to invade the middle east. War means invading. An attack like that means investigation. You investigate the organization behind it, take it down, and capture those responsible. That was my WHOLE argument against the idiots that wanted to invade.

As time went by, we learn that no terrorist organization claimed responsibility for 911. We found out that USA never investigated in the slightest to find out who was responsible. They simply proclaimed Taliban without any facts or evidence to support these claims. And as time goes by, you come to realize that it is all a load of nonsese. The government simply said "Look people. We got attacked. I guess that means we should go in and invade these people."

And the whole entire thing turned out to be a complete disaster. Moron Americans asked for it, and they got it. Now years later, they are left dumfounded about what is going on with the war and the economy today. USA was never invaded we can agree on that. If, however, you think that USA was victim of a terrorist attack, I would definitely disagree. There was no terrorist attack. USA attacked itself to justify war to the public. Just like Hitler did. Even if was indeed a real terrorist attack, it was definitely not an war invasion in the same sense Hitler invated England.

What a load of total garbage. The rich are the enemy. They do not provide innovation in the slightest. They take innovation. The suppress innovation. All they do is consume consume consume. Thereby destroying everybody and everything around them. I don't consider myself a fighter. Scientist maybe. Philosopher. Performing artist. Leader. Designer. etc. Not a soldier. I have a mind. I know how to strategize. I know how to communicated. I know how to facilitiate and manage. I know how to innovate. Yet the system would want to place me in the workforce as a grunt? Get real. We live in a system of total inefficiency. I did not create this system. Nor am I perpetuating it. It is a system created by incompetents, and perpetuated by incompetents. And the rest are victims of such incompetence. So who is at fault? Certainly not the victim.
 
Osama claims responsibility for 9/11

Bin Laden claims responsibility for 9/11

Osama bin Laden, then considered by the US State Department "one of the most significant sponsors of Islamic terrorist groups worldwide," outlined the objectives of a new group he had formed in concert with previously competing Egyptian terrorist leaders and others, called the

International Islamic Front for Jihad Against the Jews and Crusaders. As the "press conference" in Khost, Afghanistan wound up, bin Laden observed that the Americans were "very easy targets." He told the journalists, "You will see the results of this in a very short time."

I always wanted proof positive that Iraq had those weapons of mass destruction. Our lying President told us he had the pictures and places that those weapons were stored and they were going to be used soon on other countries around Iraq as well as other nations abroad. We all know now that he lied only to get a war started to make money for the arms dealers. Why didn't Congress send in more inspectors or review the pictures they had already attained when the inspectors were there before? That means Congress went along with the President and they lied to us as well. They are all in on the big money grab just like what is going on now with this so called "bail out" wgiuch isn't needed. :mad:
