Why are DUers buying into this crap about Iran from the corporate media?

[bvar22]

49. DURec. Deja Vu all over again.

Being surrounded by hostile forces with a reputation for asking questions later tends to produce radical governments.
I can understand WHY a large number of Iranians might want a BOMB.
Historically, the US does NOT attack countries with Nuclear weapons.


Herman Goering said it best, and you can currently observe this process at work (even on DU) with the target being Iran.

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. 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."--- Herman Goering, Spandau Prison, 1946

"But the most brilliant propaganda technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.".

----volume 1, chapter 6 of Mein Kampf (1925)

Can you hear the Drums?
I can.
