Germany was in a depression, massive unemployment, huge debts, currency worthless, and Germany was bound by the conditions of Versailles not to rearm. However, in 8 short yrs, Germany did rearm, and became the monster it was by 1939. Churchill had intelligence which told him the Germans were rearming, but they preferred to ignore it. Hitler could easily have been stopped before 1935, if they listened, but Nieville carried the day, with his cries for peace at all costs; however Hitler wasn't listening. It is not just me. From Villepin's speech before the UN he warned of the consequences Al qaeda could wreck upon Europe if they aren't appeased. Do you think he was lying. You yourself fear the rise of Al qaeda. It is time to face those fears, or be consumed by them. We can all argue whether GW's plan is the correct one, but in the end, we had better rally around a plan, whether it is perfect or not, that will check OBL. To do nothing would be a huge mistake at this time.
