Was WWII Worth It?
For Stalin, yes

by Patrick J. Buchanan

Bush told the awful truth about what really triumphed in World War II
east of the Elbe. And it was not freedom. It was Stalin, the most
odious tyrant of the century. Where Hitler killed his millions,
Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, and Castro murdered their tens of
millions.

Leninism was the Black Death of the 20th century.

Other questions arise. If Britain endured six years of war and
hundreds of thousands of dead in a war she declared to defend Polish
freedom, and Polish freedom was lost to communism, how can we say
Britain won the war?

There Was No Need for World War II

There was no need for World War II. Adolf Hitler was doing everything
he could to come to peace terms with Britain, but Winston Churchill
would not have it. Churchill knew of the many peace offers coming from
the German government. He knew that neither Hitler nor any other Nazi
leaders wanted to fight Britain.

Winston Churchill wrote to Josef Stalin on January 24, 1944, to tell
him that Britain was going to continue the fight to the complete
destruction of Germany no matter what. He should have been more exact
and said that Britain was going to stay in the war as long as the
United States was willing to do most of the fighting and all of the
financing.

Hitler expressed this opinion: "A European war would be the end of all
our efforts even if we should win, because the disappearance of the
British empire would be a misfortune which could not be made up
again." He told the Dutch fascist leader Anton Mussert: "We have not
the slightest reason to fight Britain. Even if we win, we gain
nothing." Hitler was such an admirer of the British empire that he
offered to defend the empire anywhere in the world with German troops
should Britain ever need them.

This post does not mean that I agree with his isolationism, though I
acknowledge his non-centrist, non-establishment versions of reality are
for study/discussion.

Pat is a gifted polemicist, and in this column he shows it.

Robert - take a look at Seigfreid's address of Siegfriedson@stormfront.org ,
and then take a look at http://www.stormfront.org/
and see what you think. It's a site that advocates repealing the MLK Jr
holiday, including words from Jesse Helmes in it's argument. It's a site
that complains about how the White racist isn't getting a fair deal, and
isn't compared favourably with black scholar or a sensitive and talented
homosexual.

He's a f.cking white supremacist nutter.

1. The Nazi's made peace treaties then broke them (costing Chamberlain his
job), invading country after country. The Nazis could NOT be trusted.

2. Even if the UK could have sat back & done nothing - that would have been
tacit approval of the holocaust. The Nazi's opened the first extermination
camps in 1933 & for 6 years, the world tried to stop them peacefully.

3. When the USA got involved in the war Hitler was maybe a couple of years
from having nuclear weapons & maybe the same time from having (V3?) delivery
systems, giving him the opportunity to make the entire East coast of the USA
glow in the dark for the next thousand years.

4. The Soviets already occupied Poland (along with the Nazi's) in September
1939 - BEFORE Britain declared war. It was FDR's acceptance of the Soviet
division of Europe that finally "gave" Poland to the Soviets.

The idea that Hitler didn't need to take Britain is obviously false. The
strategic position was such that to secure Western Europe, Briatin HAD to be
taken. It provided the ideal staging point for a counterattack - as history
shows. Also Britain didn't create it's empire by being "nice guys". Brits
get nasty, when it's time to get nasty. Hitler knew, after the Dunkirk
evacuation, that Britain wasn't out of the war - he HAD to (try to) take
Britain.

As for - "Adolf Hitler was doing everything he could to come to peace terms
with Britain, but Winston Churchill would not have it. ", I suggest anyone
who believes this should visit my home city of Coventry. Hitler tried
bombing Britain for August 1940 onwards, for as long as his aircraft could
reach their targets - trying to kill civilians, rather than attacking
military targets.
