How things change!
“Of course the people don’t want war.
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 then denounce the peacemakers
for lack of patriotism and exposing the
country to danger.
It works the same in any country.”
WWII Nazi Leader Hermann Goering
