[GT40FIED]

You know...a wise American once uttered the following quote:

"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 greater danger. It works the same in any country."

Oh...wait...he wasn't wise and he wasn't American. That quote is from Hermann Goering who just happened to be the commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force, for those who aren't up on their history), president of the Reichstag (German Parliament...and not the Funkadelic kind), and Hitler's designated successor. Illustrious qualifications, to be sure. But Goering died in 1946 so it looks as though our current administration has taken a page straight out of the Nazi playbook and is milking it for all it's worth. Something tells me that John Kerry HAS to be better than Bush. It certainly couldn't get much worse. And who better to lead the country in a time of "war" (quotations used simply because we haven't bothered to declare war in about 60 years) than someone who actually SERVED in the military.
