WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS IS TO READ 1984
George Orwell's novel about a very frightening world.
In that, the society in which the main character lived controlled the news and waged war with varioius countries in order to keep the populace's support. First, one country, then another, and the propaganda was that these were our enemies all along.
At this time, it was Eurasia, and when truckloads of prisoners were shuttled through the streets, the people would yell, "Kill the Eurasians!!"
To wage a war is ostensibly to unite the people behind the government.
So our administration has a pretty big plum here in the terrorist bombings. Plays right into their hands.
