That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of the dusk a shadow, Then a spark;  Out of the cloud a silence,   Then a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14362]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out of the dusk a shadow, Then a spark;  Out of the cloud a silence,   Then a lark;    Out of the heart a rapture,     Then a pain;      Out of the dead, cold ashes,       Life again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been no more than a medium, as it were. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3325]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been no more than a medium, as it were.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever said, "It's not whether you win or lose that counts," probably lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever said, "It's not whether you win or lose that counts," probably lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Read my lips.

Men in my platoon who had served time in Vietnam told me many stories—but none more chilling than the one from two helicopter pilots. They told me how they would shoot the friendlies on their way back from reconnaissance missions just so they could empty their ammunition before returning to base. The friendlies were South Vietnamese women and children, helpless victims in a war they did not understand. But to the American pilots, they were simply dots on the ground.Whitehead is a political conservative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45956</guid></item></channel></rss>
