The insinuation that America is somehow becoming an imperialist State, you know, like Germany was in the first half of the 20th century. > Have I written >_anything_ about Jews?

Believe me, Americans would just as soon not be the world's policeman, but no other entity seems to have the dedication necessary to ensure tyrants, like the German State of the past, are kept from killing millions of people. The world tried after WWI to do it without America (remember the League of Nations?), and all that did was create the scenario for Germany to murder tens of millions more people in WWII. > And that is my point of view - and calling people "holocaust >deniers" (which is a synonym for nazi, I'd guess) for having another >opinion than you do is not of more quality than executing the so-called >communists for not supporting the nazi regime. I asked a question, you misinterpreted it as an accusation, the problem therefore is yours. >You might be from the other side of the lake, but your position does not >very much differ from the Reich's one in this point, it's just you do not >have as much power. Hereby returning your compliment... Ah, so now I'm a Nazi? Nice try, bozo, but I'm very much for free speech and the free expression of one's own opinion, and that includes the ability of anyone to disagree with anyone else about anything they want to. Your problem appears to be the lack of ability to accept such opposition as legitimate. Not unlike those who say opposing someone's opinion is tantamount to stifling their free speech - it's completely fallacious.
