I suggest you read _The Gathering Storm_ and _While England Slept_ -- both by Winston Churchill.
People who shared your secular religious convictions had frequent opportunities to stop Hitler before he became much of a threat. Their religious adherence to your morally bankrupt political correctness led directly to the deaths of millions of people and to the massive expenditure of many nations' treasure. I find those men immoral even if polite and well-meaning. Received on Fri Apr 21 2006 - 04:52:11 CEST
