The little man is just as guilty,otherwise the peoples of the world would have risen in revolt long ago!

I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone, are guilty of the war. Oh no, the little man is just as guilty, otherwise the peoples of the world would have risen in revolt long ago!

It's been so long since I read Anne Frank, I've forgotten that she wrote this. I say the same things to my friends here in the U.S., except not as eloquently. I CANNOT BELIEVE the "little" people haven't marched in the streets in more force WHILE Bush/Cheney were dismantling our Constitution and wreaking havoc in the world. Please know that many of us - though not enough - are furious about what happened in our country (and from our country upon the world) during their "reign." We are so grateful to have President Obama...although it will take many years to undo what we allowed to occur.

Thanks for the comment. We are all guilty of bystanding in many ways but guilt does us lille good
