text: is history repeating itself again? this quote was chilling to read and apropos to today's events.  =============  hermann goering testimony (april 18, 1946)  "naturally the common people don't want war; neither in russia, nor in england, nor in america, nor in germany. that is understood. but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine 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 do the bidding of the leaders. that is easy. all you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to future danger. it works the same in any country." i think history is repeating itself because when it comes ot governemnt their modo si not "learn from the past and do better in the future" but "forget the pass and move on"
