Words of the Wise

"Naturally the common people dont want war. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine 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. All you have to do is to tell them that they are being attacked, and to denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

~ Hermann Goering
