D.P.S. had some great points in comparing the government of Libya to the brain washing of the Hitler Youth in Germany. Hitler used his persuasive speaking skills to convert many of the children of his country into believing that it was the Jews fault that their country was suffering. You are a product of the environment you grow up in. If as a young child you are constantly being told that the Jews are bad, greedy people whose fault it is that you are poor you will eventually join this state of mind. This affect could be called “brainwashing” because the children are too young at the time to truly make a decision for themselves. D.P.S. is correct in saying that this is exactly how it works in Libya. The government only feeds the people what they want them to know, and consequently the people believe everything they are told by the government. They are products of their government and they are only programmed to repeat what they have heard to the rest of the nation. They go about their everyday lives blind to what is actually happening in their country. Maybe one day they will open their eyes and realize that they are stuck behind a smoke screen of censorship and propaganda.
