VikingSF said:I'm not going to take a lot of time to address this, because it is way off-topic, but I can't let an absurd statement like that pass without some response. The vehement hatred that Hitler expressed towards the British, towards Jews, and towards many other nations and peoples is extremely well-documented to the point of being indisputable. Sure, it was mixed with nationalism and racial pride, but not the healthy kind - rather it was a twisted sense of entitlement that lead to the brutal subjugation of nations deemed necessary for Hitler's fantasy of lebensraum expansion (I hope my German spelling is correct). That's not survival or protection, that's naked aggression. And Hitler clearly was not overly concerned with the actual health or survival of the German people, considering that he continously risked their lives for his personal gain, and nearly caused the total destruction of the nation with his insane and illogical orders, especially at the end of the war.
To relate this to the main topic, it seems clear that the Islamic fundamentalists are just as much a threat now as the Nazis were in the 1930s, and that they must be stopped, not pacified, before they can build a more effective military strategy.
I'm sorry, but your outdated highschool curriculum history is old hat, even mainstream documentaries on History channel or Discovery have moved on from this version of events.
THIS WILL END UP ON TOPIC
Hitler only expressed hatred of the British as being the Jews' guarddogs - not them racially. In fact the British are the people Hitler most admired, being the "Germanics of the sea", as opposed to the "Germanics of the land".
Hitler never hated Jews so much as just wanted them removed from key aspects of German life that they dominated such as law, politics and arts. As they do now. In fact, Hitler offered the Jews Magagascar, which is 50 times as big as Israel, where they could have lived in peace.
The war was forced on him against his wishes. He felt entitled to take back what was formerly German territory in Poland and felt entitled to lebensraum in the east simply because it was unpopulated - and Britain already had colonies over half the planet ruled by the master race principle after all.
If you object to the idea of lebensraum, then you should logically want to give the US back to the Red man - fair enough!
Races have a right to displace and replace eachother - that's a fact of nature. Whites are getting replaced by Mexicans in the US.
There is some evidence Hitler died in 1942 and was replaced by one of his doubles during the rest of the war.
RELATING ALL THIS TO THE MAIN TOPIC: The "naked agression" that the US and its allies have shown towards Iraq, Afghanistan - and in future to Iran and Syria - falls under the Nurenberg category of war crime: "conspiracy to wage war", for which hundreds of German generals were hanged. But who would put them on trial?
