"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is
always a simple matter to drag 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.  This 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 danger.  It
works the same in every country."

Hermann Goering
Hitler's Reich-Marshall
At the Nuremberg Trials
