Another interesting point that came to my mind.

"You're either with us or against us!"

One of the greatest sentences in the recent world politics. So fucking simple, yet so hard to understand, but VERY effective psychologically.

First, who gave Bush the authority to force people to make a choice between yes or no. Bush tried to take away my freedom for a neutral stance?

What is more interesting, though, that after 9/11 people all over the world did say "Hell yeah, I'm with you! Go get them Bush. terrorism must be stopped"

Human is a consistent being. When he made a choice to be "with US", he made a fucking marriage vow. It's easy to make, but harder to break.

If Bush didn't make this clever sentence, there would be even more anti-war people all over the world, because being AGAINST the possible Iraqi war wouldn't damage the consistency of people's thoughts (they never had to make that choice between "with or against us")
