One of Hitlers right hand men is quoted as having said Hitler used the following mind set to convince the German people to wage war

" It is a easy task to get the people to agree to war. Just say it often and long enough that somebody wants to kill them or take what they have. It doesn't matter that its a lie. If said often enough the people will start to believe it and be glad for a war to keep them safe"

Sound familiar?

What I have a hard time with is the fact that people are really stupid enough to fall for this over and over again down through history.
