| Who does your thinking? "'People don't want war,' Nazi war criminal Hermann Goering said. 'Why should someone risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor, for that matter, in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliament or a Communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to do 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 for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.'" From Nuremberg Diary by Gustave Gilbert and cited in Writing with Oomph and workshops by John Gile. |
