WAY OFF TOPIC Making Saddam Hussein the enemy

[Jed Rothwell]

I was just writing to a friend in Europe, 
explaining that some Americans still believe that 
Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 9/11 
attack, and that he was in cahoots with Bin 
Laden. Europeans find it difficult to believe 
that anyone still buys that. They shouldn't, 
because a leading European statesman explained and perfected the technique:


The art of leadership . . . consists in 
consolidating the attention of the people against 
a single adversary and taking care that nothing 
will split up that attention. . . . The leader of 
genius must have the ability to make different 
opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.
