"Of course the people don't want war... But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, 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 tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

I know this is an off-topic forum, but this is so far out there, it would be better served discussed on a political board.

I agree with the above poster. You're only baiting others on the board... this is a controversial topic and a message board isn't the proper medium to discuss such.

People are very emotional and translating it onto their keyboard, sometimes people overlook that there is human on the other side of the screen and things are said that usually shouldn't.

yeah fair enough, but I figure if these forums have room for the untimely deaths of 7 astronauts & 3000 odd NYers then there just might be enough room to contemplate tens & possibly hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's dying.

Unfortunately, even 7 astronauts dying could not be discussed without going off track. Politics and this board do not mix. I love discussing politics, but this isn't the board.
