That’s about the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen posted here.
Churchill killed a lot of people who were not Nazis..... Where? How?
In Germany, by carpet bombing. Read about Dresden.
Yeah. So they are both fools and murderers.
As was true in Rome, so it is true in Europe and America at present
Populations flow from poverty to wealth
Gothic flow into the wealthy empire eventually reached an equilibrium and destruction of the wealth
It is Hillary’s goal to increase the flow and destroy or absorb all the wealth. The Catholic Church is more than willing to provide the impoverished population.
Yeah, that was when men knew how to fight war. Legitimate targets, all. We can’t have a victory without taking it to the supporters.
They were not legitimate targets. What law made them legitimate, do you think?
The LAW OF WAR, Dimwit. It was used in the South during CWI and has ALWAYS worked.
I think it’s because of Germany’s historical antagonism with Great Britain. The “Enemy of my enemy’’. But then Islam has at times in history sided with Britain. I don’t know but there certainly is a history of collaboration between Germany and Islam.
Read about Warsaw, Rotterdam and Coventry. And Auschwitz. The Krauts started the damn war. Dresden? So what? Tell me something, were you born stupid or do you work at it?
Post War Germany and the rest of Post War Europe brought in plenty of muslims as workers to repair war damage, and because Germany had killed so many workers both in battle and in concentration camps, however...
Please keep me on your list. The article by Mr. Salter is the best I have ever read on the threat we all face.

The USA, Germany, and Britain were signatories of a number of treaties and conventions that regulate proper behavior in an armed conflict. Deliberately attacking civilians was wrong for the Germans to do, and also wrong for the Allies to do.
The best that is sometimes said about all these bombings on both sides is that they were technically legitimate at the time, but the Geneva Convention of 1949 condemns it. An of course look at it as you may, there were massive avoidable civilian casualties.
Well, it is a large place, what you call “Islam”. Pretty hard to ignore. The entire oil exploration industry in the Middle East was British and American creation, for example.
The present civilizational conflict with Islam is a relatively recent phenomenon, going may be half a century back. Trying to sort out who collaborated with whom in the Middle East prior to that is difficult and, I think, irrelevant.
You are on the list, no worries.
Half a century? Good Lord where have you been? Islam has been a pestilence for 14 centuries.
In modern history, I meant. At least since the rollback of the Ottoman Empire in 1870’s, it wasn’t; moreover the asymmetrical warfare with suicide bombings and hostage taking is a new phenomenon.
There is such a thing. Don’t bomb population centers and hospitals, and here: you’ve avoided civilian casualties.
That Germans did some stuff they can’t be proud of — I don’t dispute. Of course the killing of the Jews on occupied territories was avoidable. That is another example that rules of warfare exist and can be complied with.
