Indoctrination and Propaganda"Why of course the
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, 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 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." --Hermann
Goering, Nazi officer, during his Nuremberg war
crimes trial
