"'It is natural for the common people to not want war but, after all, it is a country's leaders who determine policy and it is an easy matter to convince the people. Whether they have a voice or not, the people can always be made to do what their rulers wish. It's easy. All you have to do is tell them they are under attack and condemn the pacifists for their lack of patriotism and for exposing their country to danger.' ? Marshall Goering, adviser to Hitler; the Nuremberg trials, 1945."
I stand corrected, Republican leaders HAVE studied some history...
