The islamic countries could use a bit more of a democracy - even if it looks like it is imposed from outside to begin with.. You know very well that US aim is not military occupation of Iraq like Hitler's was. Asked about the U.S. reaction to the reported comments, Schroeder adviser Franz Muentefering said, “I’m surprised at the speed with which the reaction came. Perhaps it would have been better to speak to Herta Daeubler-Gmelin first.” “I have spoken to her and she stresses that she didn’t say it,” Muentefering told ZDF television. “She feels that she has been abused and distorted.” Muentefering is the general secretary of Schroeder’s Social Democratic Party. On Thursday, the minister called the portrayal of her comments as “far-fetched and slanderous.” msnbc.com

Durak, Moron, Idiot, nazi re: Who are you comparing to Hitler? In 1939, Germany was either #1 or #2 in military preparedness in the world. it is exactly like the case with Hitler lib.byu.edu as per 1919 Peace Treaty of Versailles "ARTICLE 159. The German military forces shall be demobilised and reduced as prescribed hereinafter. ARTICLE 160. (1) By a date which must not be later than March 31, 1920, the German Army must not comprise more than seven divisions of infantry and three divisions of cavalry. After that date the total number of effectives in the Army of the States constituting Germany must not exceed one hundred thousand men, including officers and establishments of depots. The Army shall be devoted exclusively to the maintenance of order within the territory and to the control of the frontiers......." That is very similar to UN resolution against Iraq. Europeans decided not to enforce the treaty on Hitler. If the treaty would be enforced then over 60 million people, including 6 million Jews, would not have to perish in WWII. Seems like Europeans are very eager to relive that history. Only US and UK learned from the past mistakes and they would enforce UN resolutions without waiting for Iraq to acquire nuclear arsenal
