BENDING THE MASS WILL TO WANT WAR.
"Why of course the people don't want war... 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 to 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."
- Hermann Goering, Nazi Officer, Statement during his Nuremberg War Crimes
Trial.
Damn that sounds so familiar.
