The father of one of my dearest friends was forced to be a Nazi. He found a way to sneak his family out of Germany. Then he was killed. My friend would have been forced to be a Nazi also, had the family not escaped. I have no disdain for him or his father.

We who did not live there during that time, or live through those days at all, have no way of knowing the anguish many suffered under that regime. If the people who now are so opposed to the Nazis had acted then, before Hitler became so powerful and his insane leadership went unchallenged for so long, the world would have been much different.

I hope that"JustPiper", who appears to have a problem with something that Pope Benedict XVI was forced into and had no way to control when he was young, will now take an active role against the Nazi movements in America, speak out against them,and leave the Pope alone. Pick your targets wisely!

And yet these same people criticize W for taking action against SH, even after years of U.N. resolution after resolution, and hundreds of thousands mercilessly killed.
