Subject: RE: BS: Are we at the doorstep of World War III?
But it won't be Saddam's agents who do that, Doug...because Saddam is NOT the one who in any way wants or thinks he can profit from a war between the USA and Iraq. And it isn't Saddam who needs to panic the American population into supporting an insane foreign policy as well as accepting the abrogation of their Constitutional and their civil rights.

It wasn't the Poles who attacked that German radio station on the eve of World War II, and it wasn't Jews and Communists who burnt down the Reichstag. It was the Nazis themselves. Burned their own parliament building down, Doug, and blamed it on "the bad guys". And they thought they were saving civilization. And most of the German public believed them. But very few outside their borders did.

Remember that.
