Well thx this one is a little different I think-
First of all the dirt poor German people at the time had ZERO media sources (good or bad- and of course we have too many) but the "bogeyman" at the time that Hitler elevated (Jews etc...) had NO HISTORY or inclinations of killing and blowing up people as a straight passport to heaven.
If you think that the Islamist movement is a made up government thing so that the "government" ("by the people and for the people" and all that blah blah) then I can tell you you are wrong- it is totally real, will happen here and the "government" will be powerless to stop it. It can CONTAIN it but someone is going to leak through someday with a dirty nuke that will cripple us for quite a while.

As far as removing bases from Iraq we better not. It would be nice to just say lets extricate ourselves from there (and Kosovo and everywhere else) but it simply isn't going to happen.
The Iraq war is NOW about OIL - because when we leave IRAN gets the oil and NO ONE but Iran, Shi'ites and Syria want this to happen (I left out Russia but that is another story)
I know some fairly influential Muslims and have very good business relationships with them. They are Sunni and they tell me that not them or anyone can stop the Islamists and I believe them. If you wake up every morning brainwashed to get to heaven by killing infidels- then it will happen.

At no time in history have we had times like this.

If you also equate Hitler to modern day government "protectionism" and rise to power- then you have to equate the Reichstag fire- set by the Nazis to the WTC. And put me clearly in the camp that it was NOT brought down by Bush or the USA.
