"Naturally the common people dont want war, but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is allways a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliment, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can allways be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them you are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country"
