From a blog I frequent... interesting parallel, perhaps, especially if you
compare the Iran-Iraq war and the invasion of Kuwait with Hitler's
pre-1939 maneuvering?


If, in 1937, Franklin D. Roosevelt would have invaded Germany, captured
Hitler, neutralized the Nazi party, and dismantled the standing military,
thus saving europe from the ravages of war, genocide, and crimes against
humanity, then the United States would have been condemned in shame by the
world as an imperialist nation of pre-emptive aggressors, and FDR would
have been cast out of office in the subsequent election.

....and yet, he would have been a Genius who was never celebrated for it.


It would have been impossible.

The US Army in 1937 wasnt big enough to invade any
country in Europe except Monaco and Lichenstein


Couldn't have afforded the steamship tickets to get over there, either.
