We have swept away Hitlerism, but a great many Europeans feel that the cure has been worse than the disease.Amazing.
To: Sabertooth
Great post from the Time Machine.Agreed. The atrocities committed by the Soviets was, and is, under reported.
After the intial conquest and brutalities, the ethnic cleansing of Germans from Pommerainia, Selisia, Prussia, and Sudetenland was anything but gentle.

And then there was the Marshall Plan, one of the most spledidly successful government endeavors even attempted and achieved. Patience is a virtue.

It'll take a disaster (or a Democrat) to get us out early, and a bigger disaster will follow if we leave early. A point about the Marshall Plan: I think the model is overused. One of the keys to its success is that Europe was trashed. WWII was dirty, long, and bloody enough to kill enough of the bad guys and bludgeon the spirit of war from the survivors. Those circumstances made it a lot easier to plant the seeds for our way of doing things. I'm interested in seeing whether a three week war with a more foreign culture tills the ground in quite the same way.

Yes, it is overused. Europe had a skilled and disciplined workforce, that just needed someplace to work productively. But if the model will work anywhere in the Arab world, it will work in Iraq. We shall see.

Thanks for the heads up!

It ran again last night on FNC, I believe on Brit Hume's show. Extensive coverage, they spent some time on it, even had a Liberal professor comment, to be "fair and balanced". He made some "similarities are superficial" natterings. I can verify which show, if anyone really needs to know, I'm pretty sure it's still on the TiVo.
