I don't think there are any trolls here, just people who want answers. The typical pro-American view of the war, as though we have never made any mistakes in our history, is the PC way of looking at the issue in my opinion. Certainly what we and the Allies did was worth it, but there are questions that are worth asking. I might not agree with Buchanan on everything, or even most things, but at least he has the guts to say things that are quite politically incorrect. The title is a bit misleading, as the war was certainly worth it, but perhaps it didn't accomplish as much as we generally tend to think it did.

I don't think it is un-American to look back at something decades later after the smoke has cleared. We did what we thought was best at the time, and we stopped the Nazis. The question is only, could we have done it better?

That question is fine.

But the question in Buchanan's article was, "Why destroy Hitler?"

As in one step forward and two steps back?
