    "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."

    Five points to anyone who can name the nut-nut who said this. (Twenty without the use of Google.)

    wasn't it Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials that said that?

    ^^Hitler wasn't ALL bad, was he? Before his reign, it seems, he sounded quite intelligent.

    The problem with Hitler was that he was intelligent. Most people with his drives have an average intelligence and amount to nothing.
