FW: quote about war

["Craven, Jim" <jcraven@xxxxxxxxx>]

"Why of  course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on
a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it
is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people
don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter
in Germany. That is understood. 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 denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the
country to danger. It works the same in any country."

--Hitler's #2 Man, Hermann Goering
