'home'Toronto, 2004.12.22
I met with Anluan tonight at the Artful Dodger - a pub I haven't been to since I lived in the neighbourhood some nine years ago. While I was waiting for him to show up, someone played Iggy Pop's "Home" on the jukebox, and it was an even greater flashback. All the way back to 1990, when I habitually listened to "Brick by Brick". It was good. |
Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, 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. That is easy.
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.
