[OT] Nothing Learned From History

2) Is the alleged future information credible?



But of course... it came in ASB letterhead paper!

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.


So what?

In 1937 Germany was the most populous nation in Western Europe, the
most technologically advanced continent. Germany had the potential
to do eaxctly what Hitler did.

In 2002 Iraq had nowhere near that potential, indeed even in 1991
Iraq had no where near that potential.

Many Germans simply feared the Nazis and went along meekly - too
afraid to say even Booh !

And where did you get this nonsense from? You may be forgetting, but the
Nazis were *elected*.

Sort of...halfway elected. If by elected you mean "got the most seats
in elections to the Reichstag, but couldn't form a majority
government, in a situation where parliamentary government had already
broken down and the president was basically ruling by fiat with a
small cadre of amenable reactionaries, who then decided to bring
Hitler in in the hopes that their dominant position in the government
could tame him, while his popularity would give them the popular
support their rule needed, but were then outwitted by Hitler, who then
managed to win a majority in a highly dubious election after being
appointed chancellor." ObWI: No proportional representation in Weimar
Germany. Hitler gets an absolute majority in elections of July 1932!

Exactly. Now that the Iraqis no longer have to worry about Saddam
coming back, they have only one enemy - the US puppet administration.

He boffed Marylin Monroe

True

Or, in other words, for the price of shipping a few missiles back and
forth to Cuba once, Kruschev managed to get JFK to abrogate the Monroe
Doctrine.


Marilyn Monroe had a doctrine? Gosh, I knew she was brighter than her act

True.

He stood up to the KKK and got James Meredith in the Ole Miss.
