Is It That Easy?

[Duck n Dive]

"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."

Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

of course it is, history proves that.


the leaders should get in the feckin ring and batter each other if they want a war, we can pay for the vieiwing and get pissed while it happens, all nice and safe like.

it really is that easy, until the leaders get found out by telling so many lies they simply cant answer the questions, thats when they decide to change the laws to prevent the questions being asked in the first place,!! inciting "religious hatred" springs to mind,!! :dunno: now where have I heard that recently??

every feckin war this world has ever had.
