A Quote by Sheldon Wolin

Terror management theory	“[D]uring the first Persian Gulf War, General Norman Schwarzkopf declared that Iraqis “weren’t members of the same human race as the rest of us,” and flyers circulated among the troops likening Iraqis to ants and cockroaches. Meanwhile, back stateside, Americans put bumper stickers on their cars declaring, “I don’t brake for Iraqis.” This tendency to belittle others is particularly pronounced in the wake of death reminders.”	The Worm at the Core
