The German mindset was tough and imperalistic at the time as it was in Japan and Russia.
But, none of them had the totally insane twisted mindset of al-Qaeda, that is the main point I am trying to make.

I understand what you are saying. I don't know if I fully agree though. I think all of our enemies are equally evil. The evil doers in Iraq don't seem to be rapist and seem to treat captured women with some kind of respect. I have not heard of rape incidents and I could be wrong. Anyway, I doubt you would get this kind of treatment towards women from WWII Japan or Germany though.
I think all of our enemies have been brutal in some form or another. And I think like this. If the country/people you are at war with are part of the Geneva Convention and are in good faith, then you honor the Geneva Convention. If the country/people you are at war with is not part of the Geneva Convention, then the gloves come off.
I know what you are saying though and I understand. There is no doubt that these people are brutal. You are right in a way because of their brutal actions. But all of our enemies have been brutal. And as I am sure you know, our intrepid Troops still come out on top by the grace of God.
