Does This Sound Familiar?

A guessing game . . . who said the following?

Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, 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 pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.

(If you read the Slush God's blog, you are disqualified from guessing, as you know the answer, because that's where I got it. And that is why I am not posting a link. Link and answer to be posted later.)

Update: If you guessed Hermann Goering, you are correct. But you didn't guess that out loud, did you? We're not supposed to make that comparison, because it's unthinkable. So don't think that; think about nice happy unicorns. And rainbows. Having trouble with that? Look! There's a terrorist! Don't believe me? You're unpatriotic and exposing the nation to greater danger!
