Doug - I know just enough about WWII to be dangerous. A lot of that is my own choice, though - my area of expertise in American history is pre-1865. If we ever get to talking about why General Lee chose to do what he did at Gettysburg, I'll jump right in. ;-) (he should have listened to Longstreet, IMO)

However-------- I didn't know until I was an adult that there was any such thing as internment camps for Japanese-American citizens. That was never mentioned when I was in school, and I was in an honors history class. There are a lot of things they don't tell you. The information's out there, though, for people who want to look for it.

I do know this - Hitler had to be stopped. And he by golly got stopped, didn't he? He had the courage of his convictions; unfortunately, his convictions were all wrong. I have often wondered how the world might be different if he had used his talents for a good purpose, rather than an evil one.

My friend, who has been in the Army 16 years, fully supports the idea of military action against Iraq.
