I couldn't watch the entire video <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> .... guess I'm feeling a bit fragile. I've bookmarked this so I can watch it on a better day.

I'm reminded of a quote I read recently in the preface of a book, "Project Day Lily: An American Biological Warfare Tragedy," by Garth L. Nicolson, PhD and Nancy L. Nicolson, PhD.

"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." (Reichsmarshall Herman Goering, Nuremberg Trials, 18 April 1946).



By the way, the book "Project Day Lily" is a good read. It chronicles the events surrounding the "Gulf War Syndrome." The Nicolsons have dedicated their work to new diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for chronic mycoplasma infections.
