Watching this WWII documentary. Hours and hours. Amazing. Buy it if you can. its fantastic. So educational, illuminating. This is before the UN and NATO. Countries just attacked each other all the time. no one was really without blame. It was almost as if humanity had not yet discovered the difference between right and wrong. 

Germany wants to take over Poland so they cut a deal with Russia and they just split the whole country down the middle. Just take it over completely. Absolutely no respect or care about their people or traditions or culture. England decides that they will fight Germany but while they do it it would be a good idea to take over Norway because of their oil. Of course this mission of theirs failed but it just goes to show, even though they were supposedly allies, how allied were they really? And to whom? It is just unfathomable in this day and age. Or is it? the whole reason we invented the UN and NATO and other peace organizations was to enact rules and regulations to prevent exactly what Bush is proposing we do to Iraq right now. and the whole world is telling him that. and still he persists. It is rather frightening in the context of watching this history of world war II. Political scientists are saying that this could very well be the beginning of world war III if we go ahead with this. so I think we all have a vested interest in doing whatever it takes to stop Bush from this plan. This is pivotal time in our history regardless of how behind it the mainstream media seems to be. they do not matter. They never will. What matters is what we want. The people. this is our country. This is our land. This is our lives at stake. 

We do not want anymore September 11^th attacks on our people. we need to make a radical shift in our foreign policy and in the way we come off to the rest of the world. And it is our responsibility. Our government is not going to do it. only we can stop it.

Also discovered that the highest casualties of World War II were not the Jews, but Russia actually lost over 20 million people, three times that of the Jewish people in that same war. Granted, the Russians at the beginning of the war certainly weren't innocent. They had their own agenda. The Jews on the other hand were just innocently singled out and dragged into a war they didn't even care about or instigate. They weren't trying to do anything or get anything. But interesting nonetheless. That is something you don’t really hear about. At least not here in the states. This whole war thing is just fucked. 20 million people. can you imagine?
