4) Aren‘t you saying like that Senator back in 1939 that ‘Lord, if only I could talk to Ahmadinejad, all of this might be avoided’?

You mean Hitler right?

I’m trying to make the point that just like with Hitler in 1939, today’s Democrat Senators seem to be saying ‘Lord, if only I could talk to Ahmadinejad, all of this might be avoided.’

<”You mean Hitler, right?”>

Unfortunately, most people haven’t been schooled well about history. They have very vague, if not a vaporous, foggy idea of who Hitler was exactly. Forget about mentioning Neville Chamberlin - young people draw a complete blank.

They, meaning Americans less than 45 years old, will tell you that was ancient history, all long ago, and has nothing to do with what is happenning NOW!

The biggest fallacies believed by many to protect us, is that technology will prevent another big war, and global-wide businesses will stop any war because it will hurt profits. Believe me when I say this: those are exactly the reasons stated in 1900 by European intelligensia why war there was impossible.

Americans and the British reapeated the same litany in the late 1930’s.

History repeats itself BECAUSE we don’t absorb the lesson of history.
