A comment or two on history: The author did not mention the major factor in Hitler's rise which was the peace imposed on Germany by Wilson and company post WWI. Consider the major hotspots around the world since WWII; e.g. Korea, Viet Nam, Israel/Palestine, Afganistan, India/Pakistan, the former Yugoslavia, the entire African continent...the roots of these conflicts can be traced to the vacuum created by the withdrawl of the British empire and/or idiotic foriegn policy "experts" drawing artifical lines on the globe after WWII.
Now the US is perpetuating the problem in the Balkans. We have Afganistan as a client state, and it would seem we are soon to have Iraq as well.
I am not suggesting that the US should not obliterate anything that poses a clear and present danger -- we should. But given the historical record of those egalatarian morons who have tried to build a better world between the wars my question is will our children and grandchildren be fighting this same war 20 years after victory is declared?

Also consider that the entire Middle East was just such a project. Not only that, but had oil been discovered there and found so useful before such profound "enlightenment," the savages inhabiting the region would have been pushed out or pacified. Instead, we have given them command of the world's economy and the proceeds there of so that their savagery can be very well financed.
