Hermann Goering

BTW, I received an interesting quote which I do not see circulating much
around. So I guess maybe people would be not bothered if I reproduce it
here. (please, in the name of Assurbanipal, I hope we do not enter on that
spam business again... :-)

"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia,   nor in
England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood.   But after
all, it is the leaders of the country who determine 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 pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the
country to danger.   It works the same in any country."

-Hermann Goering, Nazi leader, at the Nuremberg Trials
