"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." -- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials.

What kinda worries me is that the best thing that could happen for the Bush Administration right now is some kind of high-drama, major-damage, terrorist event right here in the USA. It would provide the perfect distraction, the means to close up shop on the opposition, and a solid get-out-of-jail-free card. What worries me even more is that if I’ve though of it, you know Karl fucking Rove has thought of it too. Stay watchful, my droogs. The rats are becoming increasingly cornered.
