'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 a 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 danger.'

Goering at the Nuremberg trials
