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 rightfully so, just as someone who killed Hitler during the 1920's would rightfully be condemned as a murderer, even though he was preventing the same things. In 1937 Hitler hadn't done anything worse than many other local tinpot dictators throughout history, ones who who didn't become threats to the world. You don't go around invading countries and causing the deaths of huge numbers of people just because one of those dictators MIGHT one day become such a threat, any more than you go around murdering every disgruntled anti-Semitic housepainter because one of them might become another Hitler. If FDR had specific information from the future as to what Hitler would eventually do, he'd need to show that info to defend his actions; I don't recall George W. Bush showing any history books from the year 2050. If FDR didn't have such specific info and he attacked and conquered Germany in 1937, he WOULD be an imperialist aggressor, just one who happened to guess right. |

2) Is the alleged future information credible?
But of course... it came in ASB letterhead paper! |

[OT] Nothing Learned From History
There is nothing to learn from history. It is all merely endless, purposeless, random destruction, having no value whatsoever. The moment you try to learn from it, it does something else. It can be mildly entertaining, but that's about it. |

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. -- FF |
