It wont happen that way. How many times has America been through this kind exercise? Truman gave us a dire warnong and not enough cared. Look at Iraq, Vietnam, Hiroshima and Nagasaki--they were all unjustified atrocties, and that is the truth--which you will come to if you research them--but it's too easy to make up believable bullshit that the people gobble up. Most of us are conditioned to follow leaders, and "great men are almost always bad men." Who has time to think or worry about this? Our jobs, lives, bills and healthcare are overwhelmingly stressful and if that wasn't enough we are conditioned by our culture to religiously value money over everything else, which keeps us in line and productive.

"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." - George Orwell

Something big needs to happen to prevent this.
