I think you're right Maggie. It's a new New Year. Now that they're done urging us to give money to our corporate masters for christmas, they'll justify the tax money they're about to shovel to the war for profit machine. And since they also want to distract us from the health care "reform" flim flam, guess it's time to trot out the ol' bogeyman.
Well Göring said it best. I know we're all familiar with this gem:
"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
...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 danger. It works the same way in any country."
