Moral Clarity, War on Iraq, and the Moment
Haani Nowailaty

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the 
citizenry into patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged 
sword. It both emboldens the blood just as it narrows the mind. And when 
the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate 
and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need to seize the rights 
of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by 
patriotism, will offer up all their rights unto the leader and gladly so. 
How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
