Tottakai ihmiset eivät halua sotaa. Mutta kaiken kaikkiaan, maan johtajat määräävät politiikasta, ja aina on helppo juttu vetää ihmiset mukaan olipa kyse demokratiasta, fasistisesta diktatuurista, parlamentista, tai kommunistisesta diktatuurista. Olipa kansalla ääntä tai ei, kansa voidaan aina saada tukemaan johtajien sitoumuksia. Se on helppoa. Tarvitsee vain kertoa heille että he ovat uhan alaisia, ja tuomita pasifistit isänmaallisuuden puutteesta, ja asettamisesta maan suuremmalle vaaralle alttiiksi.
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.
— Hermann Göring
