pbrown,

You may want to be a bit more consistent:

Thank you. I have not one iota of sympathy for the Germans. They brought their deaths upon themselves by wanting to rule the world. We all finished what they started. Now they are crying about it.

We recently engaged in a discussion of Sherman's March to the Sea, you took high offense to my suggesting that this march was required to break the back of apartheid. I find you willingness to condemn the German's inconsistent with your response on the Civil War. Wasn't Nazism/Fascism morally equivalent to the culture of apartheid and the institution of slavery?

Look, Nazism, facism, American slavery ~ all of them have an European origin.

Slavery was imposed on America by the Europeans who set up colonial empires here.

It took Americans less than a century to get rid of it.

We should be praised, not condemned, for our efforts.

[processing please hold]

Not apartheid. Call it what you will but it was not apartheid. Sherman did break the will of the South. Are you saying it was ok for Sherman to break the will of the people, but not for us to break the will of the Germans? Isn't that a double standard? Or you apply it when it meets your needs to apply it?

As a collateral realtive of mine once said, " WAR IS HELL".

Now, you know it was W.T.Sherman who said that.

So, I figure, if a country starts a war then all they can really expect is HELL! Especially, if they are on the losing side.

So, hitler and tojo start a great BIG war... a world war.

Now, as as a result of their war-mongering, they began to experience, HELL IN THEIR VERY OWN LITTLE CORNERS OF THE WORLD.

I really like what old "W.T." had to say. HE WAS SO ASTUTE AND WISE BEYOND HIS TIME!!
