Warblogging.com: Rumsfeld: Saddam May Have Disarmed
'[Nazi leader] Hermann Goering said: "Why of course the people don't want war... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship... Voice or not 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're being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."'

'FOXNews' Bill O'Reilly said just a few days ago "So, again, what do we think about Americans who want their own country to be hurt? It's not freedom of speech, it's attitude, and anti-American attitude that is driven by a loathing for President Bush. " People like "Ed" on the Warblogging comments system routinely called anti-war protests "anti-American". Rush Limbaugh denounced anti-war protesters "Anti-American, Anti-Capitailst, Marxists and Communists." Ah, Goering would be proud. He was right, of course. It does work the same in any country. It worked here.'
