Currently reading "iraq {the borrowed kettle}" by Slavoj Zizek. He starts the book with the following quote:
" 'Of course the people don't want war....But after all, it is 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 are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.'
(Hermann Goering, speaking at the Nuremberg trials in 1946)"
