Yes, and the lesson we must first learn is that by doing nothing to stop countries when we have the ability to, we risk years of war, death and destruction, hoping against hope that some other powerful country will come to our aid. I, for one, do not wish to repeat the mistakes learned in WWII by England, France and the other countries whom we had to save from Germany, Italy and Japan.Originally posted by SLClemens
I don't think the invasion of Iraq was anything like Hitler's invasions. But there are a few frightening parallels from which we should draw very valuable lessons.
Up until the point the United States entered that war, it looked as if the Axis powers would overcome. Do you think those who died in WWI ever believed that these countries should have or would have armed themselves to the extent they did? I think not.
If we allowed the middle eastern countries to arm themselves greatly against us, sneakily attack our citizenry rather than declearing military war and in other ways threaten us, what country on this earth do you suppose would have the moral integrity and strength to come to our aid: Africa? France? Russia?
Can't think of a one....
