Now simple history: the comparison with Germany and Hitler

America got a blow 9/11, Germany in 1918.
Although, as the first one received at home,
it was quite a blow, it was one on the nose
but of course did not bring them down.
Germany, in 1918, was deadly injured, all
its organs damaged. It were above all the 
French that wanted to hold Germany in
that lethal state. It did occupy the industrial 
Ruhrgebiet in 1920.

America now considers Iraq and others as 
dangerous, and launches preemptive strikes.

Germany, if one takes a look at the map,
lies in between France and Russia, both
opponents in ww1. 1917: revolution in
Russia, helped by the Germans.
Millions of citizens, peasants, aristocracy
murdered. With today's standards Germany
had a right to attack Russia at any time.
With today's standards Germany had the right
to attack anybody anywhere any time. 

Now if you're willing to go back to the 30-years
war (early 17th century) , when Germany already
lied there in the middle, and see another
complete breakdown, you might understand
something of stiff Prussian mentality:
without it Germany would not exist.
