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,

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought

they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same in every country.
