"You see, when a nation threatens another nation the people of the
latter forget their factionalism, their local antagonisms, their
political differences, their suspicions of each other, their religious
hostilities, and band together as one unit. Leaders know that, and that
is why so many of them whip up wars during periods of national crisis,
or when the people become discontented and angry.
The leaders stigmatize the enemy with every vice they can
think of, every evil and human depravity. They stimulate their people's
natural fear of all other men by channeling it into a defined fear of
just certain men, or nations. Attacking another nation, then, acts as a
sort of catharsis, temporarily, on men's fear of their immediate
neighbors.
This is the explanation of all wars, all racial and religious hatreds, all massacres, and all attempts at genocide." - Taylor Caldwell -, "The Devil?s Advocate" (1952) - pg. 299
