/* 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. People can always be brought to the bidding 
of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being 
attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
