i will note some similarities im ashamed to admit i didnt see between them such as the weapons of mass destruction(hitler you said had an atom bomb plan a manhattan project if you will) under his sleeve which none of my history classes told us about. i dont know whether he still has them in hiding but it is errily similar in that if he does they are damn well hidden. the military i dont know was Iraq told they can have no military power???????? isnt that illegal since itd make them an easy target for any country? i wanted to wait until you responded gato since im stupid and didnt know the purpose of the threadGato_Solo said:

One of the reasons that we're beginning to homeschool is the amount of basic education that is no longer taught. Take what you learned in public school & dismiss it. Go find a few books on American &/or World history. You'd be surprised at what they forgot to teach.
Gato-My point in bring the Kennedy clan up was to show that most of our political families have dirt in their background. I dislike Teddy because of his actions & words, not because of Joe. Squiggy should dislike Dubya for the same. The family is irrelevent.
They all did bad things and lied. For the record, I'm not a Ted Kennedy fan by any means...

hitler's atomic bomb program was reliant on a heavy water plant in norway [i think it was a place called telemark] that the allies and norgegian resistance managed to bomb along with one of the shipments they had. the damage was actually pretty minor but the nazi government became impatient with the delay and instead focused their efforts on the v1 and v2 rocket projects.
germany had massive restrictions in its military size, but so did the rest of europe in an attempt to prevent the escalation of military strength seen in the first world war. germany pretty much openly flouted those restrictions in building battleships such as the bismark, a ship that outgunned anything in the british navy.
it is well acknowledged that the war reparations, both monetarily and through the annexation of areas like the western industrial areas of germany, served to impoverish and humiliate german people and its government. the resultant action of this was the ability for a strong propoganda based party such as the nazi's to achieve power.
hussein certainly attempted to put together a nucleur weapons program in the past but the evidence for a more recent return to that appears to be flimsy. certainly the iaea didn't think he was anywhere near it in the last 12 months.
as far as i know there was no restriction on the size of the iraqi military as such but there restrictions to individual elements, such as the rocket distance restriction that intended to to curb the danger to neighbouring countries. the weapons inspectors discovered a small number of missiles that broke this restriction and were in the process of having them destroyed.
