<By letting him violate an essential provision of the Treaty of Versailles> This is the central issue with respect to Germany in WWII -- it was a central issue with respect to Iraq as well. If we had acted on that basis in Iraq then we would have an entirely different situation today in Iraq -- and we would have an entirely different foreign policy in the United States.

<Allied Powers should have stopped Hitler >

The Allied Powers CREATED Hitler. Had there been no forced reparations during the Depression (which drove Germany into despair) there simply would not have been an environment for nationalistic hate to grow. We grew Hitler in a mulch of post-war hell and we're growing the next one now in Africa and the Middle East right now. Iraq is particularly notable for the quality of the mulch.
