Thread Name: BS: Courage of Your Convictions
Subject: RE: BS: Courage of Your Convictions
Know who said peace in our time? In defense of the 1938 Munich agreement Neville Chamberlain practically bent over backwards to appease Hitler, who broke his agreement anyway. How do you combat that? Everyone signed this and that document went home thinking everything was fine and dandy we know what happened.

Saddam is at the same thing, is he buying time to do another Hitler? Is it worth taking the chance?

To put you theory across that Germany could have been contained shows a lack of understanding of the situation. Germany had the military might to do what they wanted, while most countries were maintaining their armed forces Germany was increasing theirs.

Your holocaust theory is shear disingenuous ignorance, Hitler showed his animosity towards the Jews in 1933 when he proclaimed a one-day boycott against Jewish shops, his introducing of Nuremberg laws in Sept 1935, also shows that your off with that notion. Hitler had it in for the Jews and nothing was going to stop him based on diplomatic means. Compare that with Iraq and the plight of the Kurds, has the sanctions against Saddam helped them?

Be anti war most soldiers are, but don't peddle you wares on half truths and accuse others of scare mongering while you employ the same tactic.
