Dear Amis

I'm quite astonished about your lack of knowledge of history. You tell me in several mails now, that germany has been freed of Hitler by force and that you expect from me some thankfulness and i should accept that sometimes war is necessary to stop a madman. Thats what i read as the message, your mails show a lack of style as well but i won't discuss if i am an ignorant asshole that should shut up or die (See, how ignorant i can be?).
Well. Two things about your point:
1. You did not free me. You were certainly not born that time, so you did not free anyone here, i guess. Same with me, i was born in a free, democratic country and i know nothing else. So i never was freed of anything. By reasoning like that you just show me, that you actually don't have any issue-related arguments (as your politicians have, who are arguing the same way).
2. You seem to have forgotten (or didn't learn in school), that Hitler started the war. Thus, Hitler was the agressor, and every country, that went into war against him went into a war that already was going on to stop a military assault. The difference may be too subtle for you to see, but: If the USA starts a war, who is the agressor then?
(Hi Thomas, i really like your factual comments, this post does not refer to you in any way)
