Hermann Goering put his finger on it in 1946, not long before he committed suicide. Gustav Gilbert, an intelligence officer, interviewed him in his jail cell at Nuremberg during the war crimes trials. The transcripts of these interviews were published in 1947 in Gilbert's Nuremberg Diary. Gilbert said to Goering that in a democracy the people have some say through their elected representatives and that in the US only Congress can declare war. Goering's recorded reply was: "That is all well and good, but 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 danger. It works the same way in any country."
Peace is Patriotic
Getting involved in foreign entanglements is just about the least patriotic thing I can imagine except maybe an equal of trashing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
"You can bomb the world to pieces but you can't bomb the world to peace."
You can bomb other people's children to pieces but for every child you kill, you create a family that will hate you. The only answer is a regime change and pulling all troops out of Iraq and Afganistan. The voting booths are rigged though so if a liberal is elected, it will be a fake liberal that supports war. America has been usurped by multinational corporations that could care less about America or Iraqis. It is all about the $$.
Peace is not something that starts in some foreign nation, thousands of miles away, or in a protest march. Peace begins at home. We have to all internalize that peace is patriotic and through the sheer mass of thought shifting to this way of thinking...we can stand up in peaceful individual non-violent protest in our own homes and take take that which has been stolen from us...peace.
