For those of you out
there who believe that Democracy is a simple pill to swallow and that
it will by itself "right " things, you all need to understand that the
only way to right things is to be informed, to particiapte and to hold
government accountable for its actions. The only way to sustain a
Democracy and to sustain peace is to look through unobjective lenses at
the politics unfolding around us. Otherwise, all can be lost.
For those who believe that extreme partisansip is the only asnwer, read below:
"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."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
