The Pankian Metaphor wasGoodbye to USENET 3000

Of course. Everybody has that opinion. The difference was that military monies and armaments backed it up and nobody else actively opposed the actions. It was just mere words that were getting thrown about with the buttumption that Germany would never do what they said they were going to do. The same stupidity is happening today with Islam extremists. They state they are going to destroy Western Civ. Again, nobody believes them. Instead these anti-Bushers create an environment that makes it impossible to stop the destruction.

Are you kidding? Take a good look; all you have to do is convince those with full bellies and lush homes that they are the poor and the rich need to be destroyed.

I recommend that you start to study the mindset that preferred revenge over mess prevention. Take a good look at yourselves. It was OK for the US to fix Afghanistan but not OK to continue the fix in Iraq.

It wasn't the allies that had this realization. It was one man, whose name I can't recall, an American, who dropped all, with few exceptions, price controls in Germany. He was also villified by Europe. The Marshall Plan was not a European cultural device. It had to be an American to do that. Take a good look at England. They were still living under WWII economic constraints until Thatcher became Prime Minister. And even she couldn't get out from underneath all of that thinking habit.
