Nantuko Joe: Actually, what you said is somewhat flawed. Hitler slaughtered handicaped people and Russian POW's as well. But I was talking about who he preached about killing before it happened... But if you think 6 million Jews, handicaps, communists, political opponents, POWs, blacks, gypsies, homosexuals, and everyone else who didn't follow his strait anglo-saxon line, then have a look at this. 22 million Ruassians were killed in WWII. That's more then how many people died in all of WWI alone... Almost 100% due to Hitler's invasion of Russia.

And one more thing there, Hitler had no ambition of ruling the world. He believed in spheres of influence. He believed it was the German people's destiny to rule all of Europe and push the Russians out past the Ural mountains and have quite and extensive colonial empire through North Africa. That is the extent of what he wanted. This is the exact reason he allied himself with Japan, thinking he'd leave the oriental regions to the Japanese empire and its sphere of influence.

nosoul4evr: You must realize almost all of those 48 nations don't really support the war, but are just buckling under US pressure. If they had really supported the war, they would have jumped into the coalition before Bush's ultimatum.

I believe a lot of the anti-war sentiment that was seen pre-war, and even now has to do with European self assertion.. but that's a different matter entirely.
