"And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?"

A congresswoman made the comment tonight during Special Orders that this was the quote Dick Cheney used on his Christmas cards last year, and how genuinely creepy and out of place it seemed at the time.

"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on
a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of
it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people
don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in
Germany. That is understood. 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, 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.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked,
and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the
country to danger. It works the same in any country."

-- Hermann Goering
(1893-1946) Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, President of the
Reichstag, Prime Minister of Prussia and, as Hitler's designated successor,
the second man in the Third Reich. [Göring]
April 18, 1946
Source: Nuremberg Diary (Farrar, Straus & Co 1947), by Gustave Gilbert (an
Allied appointed psychologist), who visited daily with Goering and his
cronies in their cells, afterwards making notes and ultimately writing the
book about these conversations.
