If it was to keep Hitler out of Western Europe, why declare war on him and draw him into Western Europe?

Oh, right. He'd have stayed in Germany if the Czechs, Poles, etc. hadn't provoked him.

There was a time when such blatant misprepresentation of the facts would have been noticed and properly condemned by most of the US populace. Unfortunately, the public schools have so dumbed down their curricula in the last 40 years that most young people can't even tell you when WWI was fought or what started it.

Same argument is used today, ie, by attacking Saddam, we brought AQ into Iraq.

I don't know when, but Hitler actually is on record saying:

"In the last six years I had to stand intolerable things from states like Poland."

I'm sure he'd have Buchanan's sympathy, at least.
