446 - "A bad econcomy kills/disables millions and disables our country and our military.
By that logic WWII should never have been fought."

A bad economy and runaway inflation created Hitler. (I have a postage stamp for 3 billion marks), and caused him to purge millions of Jews, and caused WWII.

The lack of oil and steel (bad economy) caused the Japenese to expand and and start WWII in Asia, killing millions.

A bad economy caused Stalin to purge millions of Kulaks.

A bad economy caused the starvation of hundreds of thousands perhaps millions in Asia/india - before the Green revolution.

Mao Tse Tung killed millions in China because of the bad economy.

Bad economies in Africa are currently killing millions.

Have you ever been to a country where the people are so poor they steal your letter before the stamp is cancelled to steal your stamp, because they are so poor? I have.

Bad economies kill millions, and when we in the US have to get involved, we lose thousands and hundreds of thousands.

No illegal mafia style strong arm tactics and propaganda created Hitler. And Hitler and his ilk are soley responsible for the havoc they wrought.

No the Japanese of the time were soley responsible. They had imperialistic ambitions plain and simple. Had they not attacked Pearl Harbor (thereby drawing us into war) they would have taken control of a good portion of the Pacific rim.

There's a job for you in the press as a Stalin apologist if you really believe the above statement.

India's problems stem more from their caste system than the green revolution.

Mao Tse Tung killed millions in China because of the bad economy.

Another murderous lying thug you seem to want to make excuses for. I suppose it was a bad economy that made him occupy Tibet.

Bad economies in Africa are currently killing millions.

Tribal hatred has more to do with this as well as Muslims trying to kill off Christians.

No one likes a bad economy, it certainly causes suffering. But your implication seems to be that government control of the economy is the answer. Somehow the government has to save a person's job but forget about the security of the country from Islamic extremists. Not that I agree with your premise but the Islamic extremists we seem to be dealing with all come from nations that are rich in Natural Resources.

You're exhonerating the mass murders of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, et al., because "the economy made them do it" . . . that makes you one sick puppy.
