"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. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."
-Hermann Goering, President Nazi Party, Luftwaffe Commander

pulitzer prize-winning new yorker reporter seymour hersh recently told think progress that a recent meeting in vice president cheney's office on the topic of how to provoke a war with iran yielded some interesting results:

hersh: There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why don't we build -- we in our shipyard -- build four or five boats that look like iranian pt boats. Put navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the straits of hormuz, start a shoot-up.

Might cost some lives. And it was rejected because you can't have americans killing americans. That's the kind of -- that's the level of stuff we're talking about. Provocation. But that was rejected.

I hate Cheney as much as the next guy but this is pretty dumb. The idea was brought up in a brainstorming session. We did not do it or plan to do it.
