Entry: Jonah Goldberg Takes on Ron Paul Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/jonah_goldberg_takes_on_ron_paul#11701 Post contents: Justin Raimondo: "What I meant to say, and clearly did not, is that the Nazi empire, and the US, are in no way comparable—and that the former would have collapsed on its own if left to its own devices". Yes, the Third Reich would have eventually collapsed but the question is how long would it have lasted before that happened. Having lived in it (or rather under it), my guess is, we wouldn't see it happen. Not even our grandchildren. It would certainly have outlived the crummy Soviet Union. Germans were such well organized and disciplined people, widely admired by all Europeans, friends or foes. Their fatal mistake, and, as it turned out, our luck (if that is the right word for the bloodbath)was their propensity for military adventures. Germans had the most fantastic army, easily the best the World has ever seen. (Hitler must have had our Madlaine Albright's thoughts:-'what is the use of a perfect war machine if you do not use it'?) I think we are comparable to the Nazi empire, at least in our arrogance, aggressivness and brutality. And, that will be enough take us, too -to our grave before our time. Sent at: 2008 07 06
