Not sure what you're trying to get at but it reminds me of one seminar which had the former US ambassador to Germany John Kornblum as a guest. He mentioned how the 20th century was pretty successful for the US. One fellow student of me felt an urge to reply "But.. but the 20th century had the Vietnam war too, how can you make such a claim?!"

Welcome back Ned - it has been a little dull with only Asher making noise (that is in the periods he isn't banned

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

And II. Without Morroccan troops, Franco would've been swiftly crushed, decreasing Hitler's agression and denying his generals the opportunity to experiment with the fancy new techniques with which they crushed the French.We all know that Morrocco caused World War 1 (actually I'm only half joking)."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

When was Mao's attack on the Japanese in Peking? IIRC the war started with the Japanese drive from Manchuria towards Peking, not after they occupied it."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

If I'm not wrong, only luftwaffe was present in spain, so the german panzer didn't have many chances to practise anything.
