'This is the way we do it — so should you.'"

Answer: George W. Bush, in September 2000.

It seems that, at the same time that "Bush's Brain" Karl Rove was planning the occupation of Iraq, he was briefing his protege to reassure American voters with sound-bites like the above.

The third and final part of a BBC TV documentary "The Power of Nightmares"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/3755686.stm

includes a video clip of Bush saying these exact words. My memory isn't *that* good: I copied the exact words from a newspaper review published the next day, which unfortunately is not on the newspaper's web site. It was broadcast here in the UK five to seven weeks ago; if you get the chance to see it, I think you'll both find it interesting — much more so than the BBC's rather superficial web pages suggest.

For online evidence that Bush has expressed the same opinion on more than one occasion:
