He was ranting about Dubya's "beady little eyes" called him "Satan's left hand man" said he worships Satan and then said Bush and Ashcroft would torture people for laughs.
FR did not lose a serious Bush critic here and, imo he may have mailed Mr. Robinson and asked to be deleted because no one would take him seriously. (is it any wonder?)
Britannia rules the waves! But instead: 'The seas for the Union!'
It is harder to attack the gigantic American colossus of states with the enormous wealth of its virgin soil than the wedged-in German Reich.

I can see where common sense might give one that impression.. But, believe me if you read the replies to Ammon.. It's as bad as it looks.
Maybe he was drinking or something and he will be back tomorrow. But he sure went off the deep end tonight.
Didn't even notice till the other poster mentioned he was gone.
He also said that "Bush's Compassionate Conservatism is the same as Hitler's National Socialism", as closely as I can remember it. I imagine that this was going just a bit over the top, don't you think?
Talking about how a large country like Russia could "absorb" an attack. Implied they could use their vast land mass to draw an army in.
Kind of ironic in light of the way things played out, eh?
Hitler had a lot of nice things to say about America, and also about Great Britain. As you said, Mein Kampf, in its international sections, was about getting lebesraum in the east, and didn't talk about fighting Britain or the US. If this is evidence that he didn't have designs on us, I guess that it is proof that he never attacked the British either, right?
Actually his early post, #2, is still there. I guess they removed him and all of his later posts. You can check out how bad he was when he started. It didn't get any better, let me tell you.
Yep, I guess that if he had reread his own book, he would have stopped after taking Czechoslovakia, Poland, France, and Scandinavia, and his regime would still be running Europe. Entertaining thought, no? I guess that our Islamic friends, like Osama would like it, since there would also be no Israel.
I think he looked at America as something to emulate, in his own way. He saw the strength that America derived from its large mass, and felt that Germany needed to increase its area in order to attain that type of power.
His comments about colonial powers seems to suggest that Germany's destiny (and future greatness) resided in expanding Germany's national borders, and not through colonialism.

Although he babbled on and on about God given this and the Right of a country that, I got the impression that overall he took a very simple, darwinistic view of statehood.
I don't think he deeply admired anyone or anything much besides his "Fatherland"

Kind of contradicts himself here doesn't he? Germany was surrounded by civilized nations. Even Czarist Russia was civilized, if backwards. So where was Germany to expand it's borders, without dominating other countries as a colonial power? By filling in the Baltic Sea? Somehow I just don't think that Hitler's plans were based on imitating the Netherlands.
