Just to add though, if the public and media only know about 10% of the facts, what's the point to living in a democracy? Surely we all have a right to know the situation and makes decision for ourselves.

btw claiming history repeats itself is a bit doubtful
Only with a very shallow view one could claim that, there are similarities with what went on before that start of the second world war. But nothing more than that, very different times. Different countries, different cultures....
A democracy is not about the population of a country governing itself and knowing all the facts. The population, by and large, are idiots. In a democracy we elect intelligent people to power to do all the important thinking and decision making for us. Sure, our freedoms allow us to form and demonstrate opinions about whatever the media is exposing us to, but we don’t know the half of it. Even if we did, none of us would even come close to properly, really properly understanding the most sensitive issues, let alone try and make an authoritative decision on them.Originally posted by Penny

I agree, we don't know everything that's going on, but I think the Bush administration have less to hide than we might suspect.
Look at footage of Tony Blair when he came to power, and look at him today. It looks like he’s put on 15 years, not 7. It’s a bloody stressful job

Whatever anyone might think of our politicians, or the ones over the pond, there can be no doubt that the elected officials are doing an infinitely better job than any banner-wielding pleb strutting up and down the streets of London barking the same old tired anti-war rhetoric. [/B]
