The German people were manipulated throughout the 1930s by propogandists that would look like bumbling fools by todays standards of mass-media and Internet savvy.  It makes me wonder what mad genius(es) may lie hidden behind our current political leaders pulling our strings.  Then I come across the quote from below, and I remember that line from Die Hard when they are talking about how the cops are being led by the nose by Hans Gruber:  "The FBI has the International Terrorist Handbook, and they're following it, step by step!"

Naturally the common people don’t want war.... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.... All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism.

- Hermann Goering

The Neo-Conservatives have the Historical Nazi Totalitarian Facsist Playbook, and they're following it, step by step.  The difference now, is that we're all pretty Internet and mass-media savvy, too.  And after the Nazi Final Solution, I think that most people are willing to accept that any government can committ atrocities if its citizens let it.
