Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader 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 unto the leader and gladly so.

Beware all those who would think we tremble! Fear does not find it�s way into our hearts easily, nor does it ever sway us from our path. The minions of evil stalk the land, and another fight has begun. This is not the first, nor will it be the last. With a heart of steel we shall meet our foes, and they will be the ones who shall be stricken. What, but our enemies are cowards all, and not worthy of our fear! They lurk in shadows, strike from afar, too afraid to stand before us face to face. The pathetic Bin Laden and his merry band of terrorists, the so-called Sniper God lurking around the capital, none have what it takes to face down your foe in a real fight. We have proven ourselves time and again, in numerous wars, and this will be no different. Yes, our leader is banging on his drums of war, but others have already been banging on theirs.

And now can you turn those words into reality?. You have missed the point anyways.

Missed the point? No I didn't, what you said about patriotism was true. But I got the feeling you were painting we the people up as being 'infused with fear', and that was the part I was responding to.

And no I can't make any of it a reality, I'm sure it'll come along fine by itself.

Btw, your piece was very well written
