I am for the war in iraque. Let us now remeber why did the USA strted the war. They said, that Iraquehad a nuclear weapon. Well, they did not. However, sooner or later, they would have had nad sooner or later we would have had the second nazists or the second Soviet Union. Sooner or later the war would habe began. It is better, that it started sooner, because many people would have died if it would not have (more then will now). I am not talking only about Americans or Europeans. I am also talking about Iraqueian people who treied to stand against Saddam Hussein or the people his sons killed for fun.

can not agree more. Hitler got famous only because he managed to get power. To get huge power.

I think that the war in Iraq is right..everyone swears at the USA,but do you remember what happened 3 years ago?!the attempt at the twin towers where lots of americans,TOO MANY americans, got killed...there were so many young guys ..how do you think their mothers could feel?!the muslims are ruining the world.they're the guilties.an italian journalist has just gotten killed today by them.he was a good person and he wasn't in iraq for any politic reason.he was just doing is job...do you think it's right?and anyway there are lots of europeans states which swore at the USA and didn't send soldiers in Iraq to help the marines.for example France swore at the US in a strong way..maybe that this state has forgotten that if there weren't american soldiers during the second world war now,there, they would speak german.at least Italy is helping the US and that's totally right...the muslims said in a video that they're gonna do some attempts in Italy..."we'll burn Italy"..because my state is allied with the US and It'll keep on helping the US,'cause It's a strong state.we're doing just the most right thing.we will win this war,maybe we will lose it,but with a clen conscience and together with the USA.W Bush,W Berlusconi.

The Palestinians are led by a stupid old man, Yasser Arafat, who has forfeited any chance of happiness his people may have had, because he is blinded by his hatred of jews.

The jews are people just like you and me, as Shakespeare has so eloquently said, in "The Merchant of Venice." They merely belong to a different religion.
The kind of statement you have made above regarding Hitler is illegal in Canada, for one, and gives us all an insight into your nasty little 7th century mind.
Perhaps you should direct your energies toward improving your own country, where women are not even allowed to drive a car.

Dear Hani
Not all Jews like Sharon, and not all Germany like Hitler, and not all Muslim like Ousama bin Laden.There are still nice people every where in the world.

Hitler tried to kill every jew in the world.
The Arabs have tried, and are still trying,to kill every jew in the world.
The parallel is between the Arabs and Hitler.

Hi Asterix,
You said Hitler tried to killed every Jew in the world.
I think he tried to kill every Jew in Germany.
You said the Arabs tried to kill every Jew in the world.
I don't think so because there are Jew Arabic, and before Israel settlement The Jew and Arabs get along. Now so many arabic countries have a peace with Israel, so it's not parallel between Arabs and Hitler.

He tried to kill them in every country that he conquered. Poland, Czechoslovakia, Russia ...The whole of Europe.
The Arabs have tried to destroy the state of Israel, which was the homeland of the jews even in biblical times. The Egyptians (Arabs) put them into slavery - on and on it goes.
What is supposed to be wrong with the jews?
Judaism is just a religion. Islam is just a religion.
The Jews are a semitic people, so are the Arabs.
What's going on here, really?
As a non jew and a non Arab and a non Christain, I just do not understand all this hatred. What good is it doing? The Palestinians are suffering because of it, so are the Israelis.
If someone who is Muslim could explain this to me why, almost everywhere there are terrorist attacks in the world, there are Muslims involved, I would be grateful.

it's not that simple.
If Hitler were just that, a devil who aimed to kill hundred thousand of people (and not only Jews, i may remember, but also gays, and nearly everyone who was not his opinion and who didn't look aryan) then how did he manage that so many people actually followed him, even when they weren't exactly his opinion about Jews?!

no, not exactly. Hitler tried to kill every Jew in the whole world. But he didn't have the power to do so, so he actually killed almost every Jew in Germany, and its neighbour countries which he invaded, everyone who couldn't or didn't want to escape.

But what's interesting, hitler himself has had a family member who was Jewish (i think his cousin or something like that) and he didn't look at all aryan (that's the "best" about it, it's so unbelievable..). He always tried to get everyone be perfect, but he himself loved (can a man this evil love?) his cousin.

I can understand you so much, i just feel the same way. It's unbelievable what's going on here in the world..

The problem is: Why did so many people follow him? Why did so few people act against him?

This is a common psychical phenomenon.
if you're not in such a situation it's really hard to believe, but peer pressure can be very strong.
Why did they follow him? Maybe because it's easy, just to follow the stream. Maybe because some things he said was true for some people, was what they had thought secretly, and he had said them. Maybe because he actually did some good things for his country (okay, they vanish in comparison what bad things he did), such as offering more jobs and lowering the unemployment rate. these are things which are really important to the common worker (family). These ordinary guys usually don't think much about politics, serious issues like the persecution of Jews and other ethical issues.

Why did so few people act against him? this is easy to say, just rebell and if there are enough people, it would never have come so far. But it's really not that easy.
Dont' underestimate peer pressure! It can get so strong that you actually do things you never even had thought before to be able to do. I read a psychologic book, it was really interesting to know about all these studies which were made to research the phenomenon of peer pressure. do you know this experiment in a prison (there was also a film about it) where some people were the prisoners and some were the guards. the psychologists just wanted to see what happens, but they had to break the experiment after three or two days because it was getting out of control.
it is as if they'd lost their moralities..
Normally it's really hard to act against the stream. but it's commonly believed that if one person starts there are often more people who follow them. in nazi germany it was even harder because you couldn't trust anyone, you had to fear that they were spies and that you'd end up in a KZ, too. and, because it was a whole country, not only a group of some people in just one room you had to act against, it was more difficult to follow the rebells. ohgod, that's a complicated thought Wink .. hmm.. for example there was the organisation of the white rose in Munich. But if there was a single person in let's say, Dresden, then how could this person follow the members of the white rose without going to munich? he had to start a rebellion in dresden too, for this he had to overcome his inhibitions, which is very very hard because of the peer pressure.

so, yu see, it's not that easy..
greets Very Happy

A question: Could you say that, without Hitler, the Germans wouldn't have such people's rights as they have now? Because that's really something which Germany should be proud of


I don't exactly know what German human rights are like and why Germany has such human rights as Mr.Admiral said. But my sister told me that German people own a quite good social welfare and social insurance, besides, German economy is very prosperous. But I don't think those have anything to do with Hitler. I guess it is just because German people are very serious and precise and studious at work.
