---------------------------------------------------------------- "Naturally the common 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, ...
- ...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."
