one of the best books to read for backgournd on Hitler's rise to power is Volume 2 of the Last Lion, by WIlliam Masterson. biography of Winston Churchill uses mucho documentation of records uncovered at Nuremburg and elsewhere after the war. more interesting are the all too similar tactics of Hitler & Goebels with Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft and the like, wittling away at personal freedom in the name of security, only to strike when the civilian population is too weak and frightened to do anything about it. Bush's Iraq war is all too reminiscent of Hitler's 'pre-emptive' strikes. He had no right, no authority, except that granted him by Democratic appeasers, no national security reason, just a desire to remake the world, starting with the middle east, into an American plaything. Democrats, in thier fear of Republicans and quickness to give in so as not to anger the opponents, are too like Chamberlain, Henderson, Halifax, Wilson, et. al. I worry about a peaceful real transfer of power should Bush lose.
