We went to war to save Poland and ended up with Poland as a puppet of the Soviet Union, and all Of Eastern Europe behind an "Iron Curtain".
Then Churchill was wrong.
I will thank you not to quote Churchill if it backs up Pat's contention. Administrator, remove that post please.
I'd like to see you post a quote from Churchill's Vol. VI to illustrate your claim. I'm betting you can't.
If you post a quote, you must include the page number.
Nothing??
Like I said in another post, every time I see footage of those poor Jewish souls (and others) staggering out of those concentration camps starved and tortured, I get the urge to join the Army and go invade Germany all over again.
What outrage to claim that we accomplished nothing by taking out Hitler and his henchmen.
Just yesterday the History Channel had a documentary on the guy who essentially designed the Final Solution, (forget his name ... Himmler??) and my blood began to boil.
To this day, I cannot fathom how almost an entire nation could simply stand by and support this barbaric regime.
Yep. Too bad the truth is so elusive for some people. Buchanan is wrong on the details of Hitler's rise to power, and ignorant in asserting that Soviet hegemony over eastern Europe was "worse" than millions of eastern Europeans getting gassed and shot by the einstatzgruppen, but he is essentially right about Churchill and Roosevelt's short-sightedness in jumping eagerly into a fight with Germany.
Germany didn't give a damn about either of us. And it had been raped both territorially and economically at Versailles. But Hitler was a bastard, so there must be war. Stalin, of course, invaded Poland along with Hitler, his ally, but let's not worry about the communists.
The communists, by the way, DID give a damn about us. They wanted to destroy us. As Churchill said after the war, "I fear we may have stuck the wrong pig."
I'm not "barfing" at Buchanan's column at all.
