 German  English

Dann werden nämlich die Bürger gefragt, und sie werden schon aus Selbstinteresse kaum einen Angriffskrieg beginnen. (Ein kleiner Einwand: Unter besonderen Umständen, etwa weit überlegener Macht, kann Selbstinteresse aber sein Veto gegen den Krieg zurückziehen.) [G] When these two forces come into play, citizens are consulted, and, in their own interests, are hardly likely to start a war of aggression. (A slight proviso: Under special circumstances, for example, when their power is far superior to that of their opponent, self-interest may not veto war).
