Hello Everybody,   
      
   This was originally posted in the FIDONEWS echo, but is   
   an excellent topic for discussion in this forum, especially   
   given current events -   
      
   Why is it Adolf Hitler always gets a bad rap?  Why is it   
   that Germans are blamed for having started not one, but two   
   worldwide conflicts?  When one takes off the blinders that   
   have prejudiced their views, the truth of the matter comes   
   striking home like a sledge hammer -   
      
   "Did Hitler Want War?"   
   Tuesday - September 1, 2009

   Note the striking parallels between what happened in 1939   
   and what is happening today in Ukraine, Crimea, and Russia.   
      
   Then ask yourselves the question -   
      
   "Does Putin Want War?"   
      
   Seems to me our Russian friend Alexander K. was right.   
      
   According to Pat Buchanan, it was the British who wanted war,   
   not Hitler.  Which is exactly why Poland refused to negotiate   
   with Germany.   
      
   Why would Ukraine negotiate with Russia if the same sort of   
   back room deal was made as was done between England and Poland   
   just prior to WWII?   
      
   Adolf Hitler is no mass murderer any more than is Vladimir Putin.   
      
   And I never even mentioned Josef Stalin, Chairman Mao, or Pol Pot.
