Well, the quote was used in context for more recent wars, like the Iraq war. While the war had nothing to do with terrorism or defending the US, many of the right wing people in this country called anyone unpatriotic if they questioned going into Iraq instead of focusing on Bin Laden in the day. It's a Nazi comparison that has some hard evidence, I suppose.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
