| Moreover, a later leader will learn from an earlier one. It's like comparing scientists from different eras, one stands on the shoulders of the previous. Scipio learnt a lot from Hannibal and subsequently the Romans based a lot of their strategy and tactics from Hannibal (as indeed they had earlier copied the shipbuilding techniques of the Carthaginians)

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 to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. Herman Goering
