True indeed ... but I think you underestimate people's willingness to swallow bs if it is presented in an attractive enough manner .... GW and Blair convince their people (or the 5% who take their heads out of the sand to look at what is happening outside of the bedrooms of the rich and famous) that Iraq has weopons of mass destruction, William Clinton convinces a whole nation that a blow job isn't sex (try that one on your wife if you get caught), Reagan convinces Americans that anyone who doesn't eat at Rotten Ronnies is a member of the axis of evil, Thatcher, while tearing at the traditional fabric of Britain, manages to convince a whole bunch of people that she is in fact a "conservative", it goes on and on ... and on ... and on .... and let's not forget "peace in our time" .... and on ............
