Sirens going off in Kuwait.

"Beware the leader who bangs drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. When drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader(s) will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights to the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done...

...and I am Caesar."

-- Julius Caesar
