And most Americans aren't even aware that Wall Street took a large role in the financial backing of Hitlers rise to power. We will never know if WW II could have been prevented if such US financial support did not exist for Hitlers embryonic NAZI party.

US foreign policy, and the willingness of US power elites to financially back foreign entities while ignoring the political views and actions of those governments (lesser of two evils scenario) continues to haunt this country to this very day. Most recently Iraq (Saddam), Afghanistan (Bin Laden), North Korea (via Clinton's Sunshine Policy) and the biggest mistake of all IMHO... China.

I fear we will someday pay a huge price for ignoring what China says and does politically... just to keep the shelves at Wally World stocked with cheap goods.

This seems to be lost on most people...I listened to a fella one time on speaking of why the Jews didn't start leaving Germany when they knew things were turning against them...He stated "but the money is so good"...

That's what we have here in America...We know China has threatened to bomb Los Angeles and San Francisco with nuclear warheads but we continue to support China...Why??? "But the money is so good"...

"This seems to be lost on most people..."

I'll even go a step further... I believe that when people are confronted with the harsh reality of certain facts which show that we (The US) continue to create "dragons" only to have to "slay" them at a later date, they simply go into denial as a "natural human" defensive reflex. The reality of what we are doing over and over with economic and foreign policy is simply too much to accept for most. After all... wer'e ALWAYS the good guys... aren't we????

The fact that you are the only poster to even comment on my post further confirms this (IMHO).

BTW: Read "Wall Street And The Rise Of Hitler" By Dr. Antony C. Sutton if you can. The bulid up of Hitler and Nazi Germany is very well documented... Just kind of ignored by most historians for obvious reasons....

Well this is an 'attack the messenger' thread so you have to be careful. PJB could say the sky was blue and there would be 100 posts attacking him and his views, few actually mentioning the sky.

I am waiting for the attacks on Bush for his comments in the former USSR about the division of territory in WWII to start, since clearly no one agrees with buchanan that poland and eastern europe got screwed for 2 generations.
