And I say no, this is a tremendous opportunity, because it means that populations basically don't like wars and they have to be lied into it.<div class=source><div class=author title=Author><a href="https://littleliberry.org/autonomy/a/extra/quotes/tag/media/author/Julian Assange/">Julian Assange</a></div></div></blockquote>
