F*ck europe they should be kissing our ****sFollow

I'm not saying they did want to be liberated...but I call bullsh[u][/u]it on whether you know if they did or not.

You don't know jack about European History or have ever even spoken with someone who was "liberated" by the US during WWII.

You are talking out of your ***.

EOFS.

Seems like there's getting to be some more comments about Iraq and terrorism so thought I might throw in my few thoughts.

How most people that think invading Iraq was a good idea because it was controlled by a dictator. Even though now that sadaam is out they'll probably become a bit of a theocracy that will be even more oppressive kinda like Iran. Though trying to take out a dictator is a nice thought, and after all its the thought that counts.

Those that think that invading Iraq was a bad idea (and why Europe aren't exactly ecstatic) is because of the wonderful world of precedents probably and resources. By putting so many soldiers into a war with a country for these few years we're left with less soldiers that would be around for if we had a problem with North Korea or Iran or if a help is needed with the west bank or even something domestic.

But then with the thing about precedents. By invading a country that wasn't threatening us in any way it can make other countrys more paranoid and try building up more arms for if the America gets involved in things again. And by not trying to make a case for the war that could be seen as legitamite it makes the US look more insane and make diplomatic ties with iffy countrys worse since they'd have to worry of getting screwed and many more countrys have been working at nuclear arms now. And making iffy countrys more paniced probably isn't a comforting thought since if they start breaking out in war it could spread out to more of the world and lead into the nightmare of world war III (far fetched but "could" happen).

So basically: Thinking through plans and coming out with convincing reasoning = Good. Going through with rough ideas and false reasoning = Bad.

Varus, do you actually read these things before you post them?


Hitler, who had for years been ignored when he made political speeches, now had a captive audience.

Germany was a defeated and disillusioned country.

The German soldiers who attended his lectures shared his sense of failure.

They found his message that they were not to blame attractive. He told them that Germany had not been beaten on the battlefield but had been betrayed by Jews and Marxists who had preached revolution and undermined the war effort.

By the end of the speech the audience would be in a state of near hysteria and were willing to do whatever Hitler suggested.

Hitler's ability to arouse in his supporters emotions of anger and hate often resulted in their committing acts of violence.

Yeah, they hated him.

They weren't...
Something of a 35 % supported Hitler...

Don't suppose you have any fact, source or relevant context for this tidbit of information, do you?

Nah, that's just crazy talk.

"The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it."
- Goebbels(Hitler's "Minister of Enlightenment")

Nothing to see here, move along.

My, you've been a busy little boy. Was this before or after being raised in the ghetto an illegitamite child of your Rolls-Royce driving 'uncle', fighting off gangs, forming a semipro-basketball team and drawing in huge crowds, working on lawns in Texa-- no, Kentucky, running a maintenance company, sawing a tree into 3000 clocks, training attack dogs for the police, talking with your Green Beret buddies, not going to bars unless you went to a bar and being told you've be fired for voting?

Yes, Tare...I'm sure your RACK feels good.

Whoops. I forgot about Varrus's four years of college and two years of graduate school. Which must come in real useful when collecting the okra harvest.
