	"They tell us that we live in a great free republic;
	 that our institutions are democratic; that we are
	 a free and self-governing people. That is too much,
	 even for a joke. Wars throughout history have been
	 waged for conquest and plunder. And that is war in
	 a nutshell. The master class has always declared
	 the wars; the subject class has always fought the
	 battles."
