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.


If the US could have invaded Germany and done all of that by themselves in
one quick swoop like the Iraq war (This would take ASB) then what would
happen to post war Germany? Without WW2 putting a strain on Stalin and the
Russian forces, could they have taken over all of europe?

Saddam was a pretty ****ty guy, but he was also the foil to Iran. A
fundamentalist Iraq-Iran super-state in the middle east isn't a pretty idea
and will end with Saudi Arabia begging us for help.

There is also a school of thought that the US should have stayed out of WW2
longer and let Russia and Germany really kill each other and maybe that
would have avoided the cold war....it's doubtful

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


Kinda sucks, but you can never be celebrated if you solve a problem before
it's a problem. Especially in politics.
