"A group of people in Najaf have crossed the line and have moved to
violence," Paul Bremer said. "This will not be tolerated by the
coalition. This will not be tolerated by the Iraqi people. And this
will not be tolerated by the Iraqi security forces."

"Naturally, the common people don't want war;
neither in Russia nor in England nor in America,
nor for that matter in Germany.
That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders
of the country who determine the policy and
it is always a simple matter to drag the people
along, whether it is a democracy or 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 danger. It works the same way
in any country."

- Hermann Goering, Nazi Reichsmarshall

One may ask, what the **** has Mr. Bremer in mind? What alternatives does he
suggest? What insights can he share with us? What flow of sweetness and light
does he espouse?
