Catching up on my reading of The Nation, one of my favorite magazines, and I came across this quotation from the Nazi Hermann Göring in a piece by John le Carré. Who does this remind you of?
”Naturally, the common 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…. All you have to do is tell them they’re being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism…. It works the same in every country.”
