but after all it is the leaders of a 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.

and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same in every country.

to choose one's own way.
- Viktor E. Frankl

thinking of enslaving the other person.

- Osho
