"Why, of course, the people don't want war.... That is understood. 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 to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater
danger. It works the same way in any country."
-- Herman Goering (in an
interview with Gustave Gilbert during
the Nuremberg trials, April 18, 1946)
