"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 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."
