    I'd hit that with all guns blazing. :)

    Considering the cost in lives and resources of hitting Auschwitz in losses and the fact that any damage would have been easily repaired I can't see where was worth it. As for the human suffering aspect of it all I have to say is people all over were suffering, not just in Auschwitz and not just Jews.

    you know whats ironic, where were "the allies" when Hitler invaded the Rhineland? where were the allies were Hitler starting re-building the German warmachine? where were the allies when Hitler took Austria? where were the allies when Hitler started rounding up the Jews and putting them in concentration camps and killing them? they knew what was going on. Where were the allies when the American industrialists profited from the German warmachine? the very weapons that would be used on us. We created Hitler, we left Germany in ruins, made them pay a unlimited debt, thats why its no surprise we helped them out after the war and Japan as well. And the League of Nations was a joke, they were just like the U.N. is now. Hitler was no different than FDR, he brought Germany back from oppression and depression, gave everyone jobs. If he would have died before the annexations of Austria and Poland he would have been one of the world's greatest leaders. But I will say in the defense of history, he brought about some of the most evil events in human history.

    any historian will tell you the same thing, my history teacher said the same thing in high school, why do you think he was voted in by the German people? why do you think 90 percent of the Germans loved him before he started the war? its the facts. I'm not praising him, I'm just saying he was their version of FDR, <BEFORE THE WAR. And I don't even like FDR, so thats not a complement. He was a socialist for one, and he gave into Stalin's demands without a fight, Truman was a way better president. He had the balls to drop the atomic bombs on Japan, something that FDR would never have done, he would have rathered sacrificed another million American soldiers invading the Japanese homeland.

    Then again FDR cut through the isolationism ideology and decided to join the war in Europe. At least one good thing to stop the war in Europe. Without FDR the US probably would not have entered the war in Europe ( FDR´s actions to help Churchill probably drove Hitler more to declaring war in Dec 1941 than Japan´s actions, I personally think ).

    I agree with that, FDR broke away from the isolation, but it was too little too late. The Axis already had a firm grip on numerous countries. The isolation wasn't even his fault though, the American people didn't want to have any part of the war because of the horrors of WWI.

    -ps, Hitler never approved of Japans attack on Pearl Harbor, he wanted to attack the USA after he had defeated the Soviets.
