Bruce Ramsey, Hitler Apologist and member of the Obama-Nation?
Straight from the Seattle Times: “Democrats are rebuking President Bush for saying in his speech to the Knesset, here, that to “negotiate with terrorists and radicals” is “appeasement.” The Democrats took it as a slap at Barack Obama. What bothers me is the continual reference to Hitler and his National Socialists, particularly the British and French accommodation at the Munich Conference of 1938.
What Hitler was demanding was not unreasonable. He wanted the German-speaking areas of Europe under German authority. He had just annexed Austria, which was German-speaking, without bloodshed. There were two more small pieces of Germanic territory: the free city of Danzig and the Sudetenland, a border area of what is now the Czech Republic.
We live in an era when you do not change national borders for these sorts of reasons. But in 1938 it was different. Germany’s eastern and western borders had been redrawn 19 years before—and not to its benefit. In the democracies there was some sense of guilt with how Germany had been treated after World War I. Certainly there was a memory of the “Great War.” In 2008, we have entirely forgotten World War I, and how utterly unlike any conception of “The Good War” it was. When the British let Hitler have a slice of Czechoslovakia, they were following their historical wisdom: avoid war. War produces results far more horrible than you expected. War is a bad investment. It is not glorious. Don’t give anyone an excuse to start one.“

Pretty much the entire world speaks American-style English, should America annex the entire world, moron?

Love it when people try to tell you about history when they don’t know anything about it themselves! Hey moron, through out history, Europe pretty much treated War like the Olypmics. Every four or so years, if a war didn’t pop up on its own, they’d start one just for fun. Europe really didn’t have your BS “historical wisedom” about war. If anything, the lesson from history they should have followed was: “Cut the knees out from the greedy Psycho before he got strong enough to do damage.” The more land the ambitious bastard has, the more people they can conscript as soldiers. Ask Napoleon about this.
That’s what in many cases America has attempted to do since World War II. Cut the Hitler-wannabe off at his knees before he can actually do serious harm. Its much easier to deal with the likes of Iran BEFORE they launch the nuke at Isreal then afterwards.
Ah idiots. Making the world a scarey place every time they open their mouths. And no, “good intentions” doesn’t mean SHITTE.

“Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World, discusses the British politicians’ colossal blunders that led them into World War I and II and the collapse of their empire, the consequences of American intervention in WWI and imposition of the Versailles Treaty, Hitler’s motive to regain the lands lost in the east and willingness to forsake former German provinces in the west out of his desire to avoid war with England and France, what really happened at Munich, the folly of the British war guarantee to Poland during their dispute with Hitler over Danzig and the real lessons of the second World War.”

HA HA HA HA HA
Revisionist Historians…god I love those guys. They always make me laugh. They are just so cute with their “hey, despite what actual knowledgable historians agree with, this is what really happened!” and then its always 100% Leftist BULLSHITTE. I mean have you ever noticed that its always leftist crap that is downing America or other moral causes? Gee, isn’t that a coincidence?
Ha Ha Ha Ha. Ah retards. Ain’t the “civilized world” so great?
