<<The only thing that helped Germany was that it remilitarized in preparation for war, while its potential adversaries hoped to appease it, and did not adequately prepare. >>

Don't forget the strike first. Easier to hold ground than take it. Blitzkrieg. Edit: no kidding I got Blitzkrieg right on the first try.

<It was not a question of "capacity", but of will....... > Dead wrong. The will without the capability would have been a hollow threat. The threat was real only because it was based on superior industrial and scientific capability -- the same advantage now in the hands of the US. Until the neocons seized control of our foreign policy I was convinced that the US had the good judgement to use its power wisely -- that is no longer the case.
