"Propaganda is to a democracy what violence is to a dictatorship."

"From 1945 to the end of the century, the United States attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments, and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements struggling against intolerable regimes. . . .

"A terrorist is someone who has a bomb, but doesn't have an air force"
