Hitler convinced his people that the war in Poland was self defense Hitler also gassed and killed a lot of his own people simply for opposing him. Sounds more like Hussein than Bush. Get some discernment. I'm not saying that some day the US may become totally morally bankrupt, but if so it won't be because of conservative hawks, it will be because of liberal hawks who fight wars that are not just.
All I am saying is that power corrupts, even in the guise of a good cause and that those who do not study history will repeat it.
Other lessons not learned? Tell the big lie until it is believed, and target an enemy and facilitate mass fear of it.
The ends does not justify the means. A just result, while eroding the principles of our Free society, are far worse than the threat. Deal with the threat under the rule of law or relegate ourselves to the history dump of fallen free peoples.
Image that! A Government that kills their own children....
