And all this nonsense about "it's our fault we were too late, we did nothing etc...". The blame for World War II and the tens of millions that died rests firmly and solely with the Nazis. [/quote]
that's true. The blame falls squarely on the Nazis, and the Fascists. I think the bigger point is that Hitler started out small once, too, just like Saddam Hussein and wound up big because no one stood up to him. Fortunately, we didn't give Saddam a chance to be big(ger).

Just a fact here: of the 12 millipn murdered in the Nazi concentration camps, only 6 million were Jewish... that's only half. He was not just out for the Jews. He was out for them, but not only them. The murder far extends Jews, but that was the politically correct choice to say it was based around, and unfortunately the history books don't reflect a balanced view: they hardly if at all mention the murder of anyone except Jews. Of course, they completely ignore the murder of clerics and religous.

Which happenned en masse. Ask John Paul II. They saught out seminarians to take them to the camps and he narrowly escaped. Nearly the entire faculty of his University (Catholic University of Lublin) was rounded up and carted away by the Nazis.
