Have to disagree with your comment that the Nazis were following culture and morals of their society. Which society? Not the one that existed in Germany BEFORE the brainwashing and fear-mongering the Nazis instilled in a beaten-down German population. --Joanne Paul Heinegg <[log in to unmask]> wrote: We hail the first individuals who questioned our relationship with England and dared to speak of independence as great leaders, great independent thinkers. We (or at least our history books) totally ignore those who had the moral fortitude to recognize slavery for what it was and to free their slaves. Instead, we fixate on the slaveowners as our great leaders, as if slaveowning was only a minor blemish on their otherwise great careers. If that is the case, I still think we must give Nazis the same benefit. They were only following the culture and morals of their society. Other Western countries denounced their behaviour, but other Western countries also denounced American slavery. Paul --------------------------------- Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!
