The lasting effect of the Holocaust is not just what it did to the Jews, but what it did to Western Civilization. Before it happened, nobody would have believed that a Christian, civilized country could have ever done such a thing. After it happened, people had to admit that Germany had done it. And they began to have trouble even using the terms "Christian" and "civilized" without putting scare quotes around them. The Holocuast and WWII produced a crisis of civilizational confidence in the West.

"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." December 18, 2000 "To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day hero ... assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an un-winnable urban guerilla war. It could only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability." A World Transformed (1998) George Herbert Walker Bush

< Why should folks like you yell from rooftops and keep reminding the world about the holocaust. > Typical evasive answer. You left off the Armenians. Genocides happen all the time isnt the point. Israel is the point. Some people learn from the past. How long do you wait to stop it from happening again Chin ? Iran is preparing for war: ‘This war is our war’. (Hat tip: Hulugu.) A former CSIS informant who once kept tabs on terrorists says the Iranian regime is “mentally and spiritually” preparing its people for war against Israel. The Ottawa man, now in Tehran, says the hate campaign against Israel is “everywhere” on the streets of the capital. “It is not good. It is sad,” he told the Citizen. “There are posters at intersections of (Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah) saying Israel must be erased from the map.” Opponents of the Iranian government in Canada say they have received similar reports describing huge posters of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Hezbollah leader alongside the slogan: “This war is our war.”
