WAR, our national interest

"Of course the people don't want war. 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. 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."

Hermann Goering, Nuremberg, 1947

.... it could have been Orwell in "1984" who saw such things with
similar clarity.

OK, Sorry, I hit the wrong year but the quote is his.

# ...
# 1933 March 1, 1935 named Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe (commander
# in chief of the Air Force)
# April 10, 1935 married Emmy Sonnemann (1893-1973) Appointed by
# Hitler as Plenipotentiary for the Implementation of the Four-Year
# Plan
# September 1, 1939 Hitler appointed him his first successor
# June 19, 1940 was made Reichsmarschall (Reich marshal)
# Began to lose favor with Hitler during the Battle of Britain because
# of the decreased effectiveness of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force)
# May 9, 1945 captured by U.S. troops
# Tried at the Nuremberg Trials
# Found guilty on all four counts: conspiracy to commit crimes alleged
# in other counts, crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes
# against humanity
# October 15, 1946, two hours before his scheduled execution, he
# committed suicide by swallowing a cyanide capsule he smuggled into
# prison.
