Evil Then, Evil Now
Sunday, December 17th, 2006Spree over at Wake Up America has a great post highlighting similarities between between Adolph Hitler and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
If you add Kim Jung Il and Hugo Chavez to the mix, you can almost see the potential for an alliance similar to Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo during WWII. The one responder at YouTube to the Evil Then, Evil Now video thought I was way off base:
yeah… i seriously doubt north korea, iran and chavez have as much power as say italy nowadays… To compare it to the age of facism is kinda insulting to the soldiers who fought in it and died for it.
My reply:
Not yet.. and there is still time to prevent it, but the risk is much greater now, with bigger and badder weapons. I look at where we are today as being somewhat comparable to where the world was around 1937… no insult intended, but we need a wake up call or we will be lamenting the loss of millions of people 10 to 20 years from now. Thanks for the comment.
Maybe the similarities are coincidental; maybe North Korea, Venezuela and Iran are not the military powers that Germany, Japan and Italy were 70 years ago; but the fact is… they don’t need to be. In this age of nuclear weapons, they don’t need to be.
Could they defeat us in a full scale war? Of course not. But how sweet is victory when your enemy is vanquished but your friends are destroyed and millions have died.
Why these three? Wake Up America has the Hitler/Ahmadinejad comparison covered, but why Tojo/Kim Jung Il & why Mussolini/Chavez?
North Korea is located in geographical proximity to Japan, has a desperate dictator who is widely viewed as a nut case, has tested a nuclear weapon, is testing delivery systems, and has already threatened to use them on neighbors and the USA.
Venezuela is lead by a “president” who is not viewed as a serious threat, yet. While perhaps the least threatening from the perspective of weapons, motive and ambition, Venezuela is ideally positioned to provided a staging area for an attack on the US Southern and Eastern US.
Is there an alliance today? Probably not. But these three have hatred of America in common, so the potential is there.
