WWI involved a number of European Empires; whereas, today there is only one imperial axis of evil involved so far: US, UK, Israel. The other strong global economic and military powers, Russia and China, have not yet been drawn into the fighting. Indeed, The US axis actions tend to resemble WWII more than WWI. Hitler's aggressive actions in Europe in launching attacks on its neighbors for spurious reasons are very similar to those of the US. The difference being that the Nazis were more efficient. Similarly, the targeting of specific religious and ethnic groups: Arabs and Muslims by the axis is similar to the targeting of Jews and Romani by the Nazis. Both the Nazis and the Busheviks carried out and are carrying out their activities to capture regional resources. Both had and have economies that are heavily dependent on the armaments industry. One point of history: The Ottomans did not intend to exterminate the Armenians, and, in fact, did not. Approximately, 600 thousand Armenians died tragically in the war from all causes: Massacre, famine, disease. These deaths are usually exaggerated today by politically motivated Armenian nationalist propagandists and unwary journalists. Similarly, some 500 thousand Muslims in the same area died for the same reasons, but are either ignored or grossly undercounted by Armenian nationalist historians or Western journalists. Alas, there was no Lancet in Eastern Anatolia in the first World War to count the Muslim deaths. These were routinely ignored by the European imperialist propagandists of the time, and can only be found in Ottoman documents. The relocation (or "deportation") of Armenians from the war zone to other parts of the empire turned out to be particularly tragic, but the fact of the relocation was not unusual. Both the Austrian and Russian Empires engaged in similar mass "deportations" during the war, but under much more favorable conditions. These types of relocation were normal in wartime. There was heavy use of propaganda against the German and Ottomans in WWI, much to assist Wilson in justifying America's entrance to the war, but also to justify the European imperialist partitioning of the Ottoman Empire. Whereas, the propaganda against the Germans has been studied (British Blue Book) and the Germans have been exonerated; the similar use of propaganda by Wellington House and the Americans has been ignored and is regularly cited as "historical" fact.

The answer to that question is: "It wouldn't make any difference if they listened. They couldn't cope with a lousy hurricane. What do you expect them to do with the mess that's whistling down upon us now?" Personally, I expect they're going to blame it all on Scooter Libby, give themselves another tax cut and then go on vacation for a few months. Laugh if you want to -- then see if I'm wrong. jimmythetrucker - a guest Wed, 31 Jan 2007 01:37:00 +0100
