UPDATE: It must be one of those days as I got the same pickie again, bu this time with Herman Goering quote:
Of course the people don't want war. 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 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 tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater dangerFigures.
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremburg Trials
Though I'm not entirely convinced of the veracity of this quote. A little too cute.
