"It is unworthy of a great state to fight for something that does not concern it's own interests. Gentlemen show me an objective worthy of war and I will go along with you. It is easy enough for a statesman to ride the popular wave from the comfort of his own fireside, making thunderous speeches from the rostrum, letting the public sound the trumpets of war and leaving it to the musketeer, bleeding out his life's blood in the snowy wastes to settle whether policies end in glory or in failure. Nothing is simpler, but woe to any statesman, who, at such a time, fails to find a cause of war, which will stand up to scrutiny, once the fighting is over" - Otto von Bismarck
