This thread does not offend me. It does however fall into the area of politics. I feel that the US is in the grip of a hysteria not unlike Nazi Germany. Thus I feel this thread is political in nature. ( See below " What would you say ..... ) If no one else believes this is politics, then I will ask permission to expand on my beliefs. Gus 00000000000000000000000000000000 When discussing Hitler's history role we often hear next arguments: > He gave Germany pride and self confidence, > Yes, but this kind of pride and self confidence is usually called "Nazism". The pride of being superior to the inferior human races, the pride of being able to decide which human race is allowed to stay on the Earth and which is not. > he slashed unemployment, raised standards > of living, improved the overall lot of the common > people, > What would you say if some US president would kill 50 million (some middle and high class) of 300 US population, and scattered their property among the rest, thus "raising the standards of living" and "improving the overall lot of the common people"? > built superb roading systems, public works and much more. > He often did that using slaves killing them by this work; like in ancient history; nothing to be proud of. --- Hope nobody offended.
