Cool!

I would add to Diana's excellent analysis of the Huxley quote, that another reason for the obvious parallels, is the great lengths people to to, to gloss over what is actually being done. Using different terms and psychological tricks, just as with war. (The whole article is well worth reading, by the way.) It's dissociation.
