Of Bad Shepherds And The Tyranny Of Men

Lifted this quote from Mark & Marjorie's blog. Verrrrry eenterestink...

"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."
óHerman Goering at the Nuremberg trials.

Also an interesting comment on their blog by Marjorie's dad, a former U.S. airborne ranger and Special Forces veteran.
