The People Don't Want War
"Of course the people don't want war. But
after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's
always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, 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
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater
danger."-- Herman Goering at
the Nuremberg trials
