Somehow I stumbled on Hitler's T4 project in 1938, less than 66 years ago.
It was a project to eliminate Germany's undesirable babies.
The age was raised to include kids up to 16 years old. Hitler planned euthanasia for the unperfect.
It occured to me that, the way the Third Reicht thought, was simular to many 'cleansing' efforts recorded in history.
This way of thinking would include the Pilgrims cleansing the land of the indians.
I guess the moral of this story is, that killing people over physical or religious differences, is pure evil.
Knowing what I know, it would be hard for me to cheer when any war is won, because I believe that war itself is evil.
Wouldn't it have been much nicer if the bureaucrats could have won Iraq through economical and political means?
I've read that the United States has a larger gross domestic product than India, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Russia, Spain and Brazil combined. Dollar wise, the US is worth 200 Iraqs. That's a lot of monitary influence.
We are the richest people on the planet by far!
