Whenever a country wins a war against another is exploited so inexhaustible. Past wars bear population in short periods of time. Americans do not know a war on home soil. Their wars are always thousands of miles. Terrorism has barely been felt in the soil. The collapse of the Twin Towers is an exception. The average American citizen thinks, of course, that their struggle is just. Allied soldiers as they conquered ground in Europe in 1944 and 1945 were more and more confident of their just cause. An example is in the words of a British soldier in 1945 when he intervened in the liberation of a concentration camp: "That's why we've been fighting." According to the author Norman Davies is convinced the soldier who fought for a just cause. If the American citizen soldier and doubted his struggle, eventually convinced. Continuing with the analysis of Davies' when they realized the extraordinary inhumanity of the enemy and in Nuremberg know the details, they forgot their objections, the evil was defeated. "Well," had triumphed. Freedom, justice and democracy had prevailed. "
"When a politician fears the rise of rivals like Colonel Nasser or Saddam Hussein, soon called a" new Hitler "or to equate it with" fascist ". If has, or its allies have, to cope with an attack, large or small missiles, compared with the V1 and V2 of the Nazis and justify a disproportionate reprisals referring to the Strategic Bombing Offensive. In fact your country has nuclear weapons sees no threat, but denounces the threat that others have "illegal weapons." Because he has convinced him, that belongs to the alleged international community is as united nations of the past and fight for good with a pure heart, a just cause and a big stick. "
Whenever I see international politics today, remember these words of Norman Davies. Today we have another war, this time in Libya. In recent weeks the comparisons between Hitler and Colonel Gaddafi are abundant. It is common to hear "Gaddafi end up like Hitler." The comparison is not free: Hitler is an example of evil and that evil always challenge the well the message is to be completed as Hitler and his Third Reich. Hence the term Hitler always in the minds of Western citizens. But comparisons are a scam, neither Saddam Hussein or Bin Laden or Colonel Gaddafi has nothing to do with Hitler. Even the political situations are the same. Hitler died with virtually no internal opposition. Gaddafi is a country in civil war something that never happened in Germany. Moreover, both allied and Gaddafi use at will the comparisons with Hitler. The colonel just said that the allies "end up like Hitler and Mussolini." As we see, Hitler is still a comparison of free will.
Following the axis of evil, I would like to discuss an interview that the journalist Ana Pastor made this week by Iranian President Ahmadinejad. You can see it here. The journalist has been heralded as a hero for having confronted the president. But I find a botched interview. The journalist has done an interview "Politically correct" and full of demagoguery. I have spent some embarrassment at the sight. Ana Pastor shows little respect, interrupts constantly, and miss the unique opportunity to get information. In my view, the interview is a waste of time since the president took no virtually any operator who does not know. For me it is an example of how not to do journalism. But the champions of political correctness and the journalist have risen to the level of heroin and good reporter. Moreover, the daring journalist shows signs of ignoring the situation in his country when he says that his country no one is imprisoned for publishing books. I immediately came to mind the status of Pedro Varela, who was imprisoned for publishing books. Pedro Varela's incarceration seems to me a very serious incident which is also virtually silenced by the media.
