"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

Hawk,

Re: What we're currently engaged in is making the world safe for commerce (and hopefully democracy). Bringing order from chaos and all that rot, y'know..... :0)

Of course, that's the Machiavellian analysis.. hehe
