¿Question #4534?
Blackwind: "Naturally, the common people don't want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and endangering the country. It works the same in every country." Herman Goering - Nuremberg Trials

ThroughTheDeckGlass: I'm sorry, was that a question? It also helps to dehumanize the enemy.
Ruesailmana: Still relevant
Yldarr: "Goering quotes are for asshats." Me - Now
Caerid: Sound familier?
arkibet: why would you not ask a question?
Woelf: And your question is...?
beerbear: Great story.
punchykoos: Is that a question?
gokiburijin: um...questions have question marks.
franklincobb: That's not a question.
Zedsdead: Banana.
jpat: That's not a question.
ahoodedfigure: thanks for the quote, but it wasn't a question
Junichirou: That's not a question.
Boot2daHead: "Tell them they are being attacked..." I take it that you are one of nutcases who think that 9/11 was an inside job or never happened. Do you really think that if Bush was some sort of Hitler that idiots like you would be allowed to keep spouting nonsense like this in public or on the internet? You'd be locked up or dead.
Randy Cox: Good quote. Too bad this isn't GeekQuotes.
Orcoteuthis: It's not hard to find examples of the common people wanting war.
Norrmeister: Is this a question?
smitty1966: is that a question? If so, the answer is "no".
DHEK: True in many cases I think. I hope society can progress beyond this line of thinking soon.
themagni: Yes, we know. You've godwined BGG. Are you happy?
unixrevolution: I agree.
Boraxia: Hmmm...I thought that was an excerpt from a George W. Bush speech at first
GrimJester: "A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves." Bertrand de Juvenal
dougpartridge: Since that's more of a statement than a question, I'll ask a question. Are you trying to convince me of something?
simonjauk: Sounds like the US to me.
scriptorum: "Where the hell is your question?" - Eric Lund, GeekQuestion Answers
cad614: Nice quote, but I missed the question.
Shotmagnet: Or Dick Cheney, last week, at an undisclosed location
The Unbeliever: 42
brainrob: That is very true
KDSN: right.......
DougOrleans: That's not a question.
bigbadsteve: interesting
Xenomech: Yup.
ZombyDawg: "There is nothing new under the Sun." Soloman - Ecclesiastes
cerulean: This is not a question, but a statement relevant to contemporary American politics.
Loquutus: It worked in this country recently.
djlg: So what's the question?
nix342: "In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers." - Neville Chamberlain
javelin98: And this is a surprise because...? It works the same in reverse -- tell a group that their civil liberties are being attacked, that the government in power is evil, that reaction is better than reasoned action. Hatred is not the monopoly of the Right.
consolewa: Sure, this is not a question. But it is an important quote that proves Bush et al. have done just enough homework to get what they want out of the US citizenry.
irratejon: Is there a question here?
CDRodeffer: Heh. My grandpa translated that. He was a guard at that very trial.
puffinge: Oh wow, what a day! Not only did jttm ask another question, so did Blackwind. Well, kinda.
chaddyboy_2000: I didn't even bother reading the whole thing. Was it a question?
skelebone: Yeah, Yeah, there are a lot of ways to manipulate the populace.
jttm: Huh... uhh.. we don't speak so good round here... maybe you wanna take your edumacation back to them yonder city...
skrutsch: scary, but true
Lord_Prussian: nice
sos1: True
