Propaganda:
Did Goebbells Write The Bush Administrations speeches?
From an address to a joint session of the US Congress: President George W. Bush. "Americans are asking ``Why do they hate us?'' They hate what they see right here in this chamber: a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other. " George W. Bush, 20 September, 2001 http://www.indystar.com/library/factfiles/crime/national/2001/sept11/transcripts/0921bush.html From Goebbels' New Year address to Germany They hate our people because it is decent, brave, industrious, hardworking and intelligent. They hate our views, our social policies, and our accomplishments. They hate us as a Reich and as a community. They have forced us into a struggle for life and death. We will defend ourselves accordingly. All is clear between us and our enemies. Goebbels 31 December 1939 http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/goeb21.htm
Richard Perle, policy advisor to G.W. Bush, 2001
"No
stages. This is total war. We are fighting a variety of enemies. There
are lots of them out there. All this talk about first we are going to
do Afghanistan, then we will do Iraq, then we take a look around and
see how things stand. That is entirely the wrong way to go about it
... If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it
entirely, and we don't try to ... piece together clever diplomatic
solutions ... but just wage a total war against these tyrants, I think
we will do very well. Our children will sing great songs about us
years from now." ---

So
total war is the demand of the hour. We must put an end to the
bourgeois attitude which we have also seen in this war: Wash my
back, but don't get me wet! The danger facing us is enormous.
The efforts we take to meet it must be just as enormous. The time has
come to remove the gloves! We must use our fists now! There is no
excuse for only superficially and carelessly making use of the war
potential at home and throughout Europe. We must use the full
resources, as quickly and thoroughly as it is organizationally and
practically possible. Unnecessary concern is wholly out of place. The
future of Europe hangs on our success in the East! We are ready to
defend it! The German people are shedding their most valuable blood in
this battle. The rest of Europe should at least work to support us.
Those who do not understand this fight today will thank us on bended
knee tomorrow that we took it!
