Funny Quotes about Lack

Naturally, the common people don't want war ...
but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy,

whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship,
or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

to the bidding of the leaders.

they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger.
