I'll check back on this thread and move it to the Politics Forum in a bit - that's where it wants to be.

I think you misunderstood Goring.
The point wasnt and isnt that America or Russia is somehow Nazi, but that the methods the Nazi's used to drag the German people inti a war are the same methods that everyone uses, Stalinist, Liberal Democratic, or Facist.
1, You make people afraid; of terrorism, of Russia, of America, of whatever.
2, You make people who call for police or who call for the state's powers to be held in check unpatriotic.
Whether you are Blair, or Bush, or Hussain, it works in the same way.
