"What absolute nonsense!.."
The Nazis could have been stopped had that been the reason in the first place - the persecution of the Jews was well underway by the time WW2 broke out - Britain didn't lift a finger - on the contrary, it appeased Fascism and criminalised those who took up arms to oppose as "premature anti-fascists.
I have never at any time claimed there are no just wars - there are - but the butchery of WW1 certainly doesn't fall under this description.
Isis - by the way - was the result of the world doing nothing about the massacres in Syria - one clown described any attempt to stop Assad as "fascism" (wonder who that was - oh yes - I remember!!)
Now we're up too our arses in wars on other countries (presumably no longer fascism Keith?)
