The handbook for manipulation of the masses was written by the Nazi facist political party that controlled Germany between 1933 and 1945 by Adolph Hitler. Michael Aflag, the founder of the Baath Party, adopted that political ideology. In the 1930s and 40s, Baathisms founder, Syrian-born and French-educated Michel Aflaq, and a handful of his cronies, were students and admirers of Marx, Lenin, and Hitler. Aflaqs alma mater, the University of Paris, produced numerous notable political leaders, such as Cambodias Pol Pot. On his return to Syria in 1932 Aflag worked closely with the local communists and wrote for their magazine. In the 1950s, in Iraq, young Saddam was an early Baathist, and in the 1960s became a personal associate of Aflaq. Saddam and the Baath party attained dictatorship in a 1968 coup, and, at Saddams invitation, Aflaq spent the remaining years of his life in Iraq, where, with irrepressible college spirit, he was on Saddams cheerleading squad.
Interesting, but what does all this have to do with bin Laden?
