A great observation of a true human reaction (even though it is said by a truly bad guy). We are told lies by all politians. We/all humans are controlled by fear. If a leader wants to control us, give us a enemy/threat (vietnam,granada, iraq, iran,afganistan,saddam,wmd's) we will be fearful and we will give that leader anything he wants, even our freedoms. Always beware of leaders that use fear to cause you to compromise your values.

Men that create empires with force are doing so for their own benefit (riches,place in history,land mass they annex). Jesus formed his empire/following by showing love for his fellow man/woman through actions, speeches and hope that those following him (12 apostles) would be able to tell his message. Great quote.
