Entry: Hitchens's Trotskyite Morality Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/hitchenss_trotskyite_morality#30695 Post contents: WWII was a war of attrition with Nazi Germany, with the Russians suffering most of the attrition. Churchhill entered into an alliance with Stalin because he knew he couldn't win against Hitler without Russians bleeding him in the East. FDR agreed, and was complicit as Churchhill in the unholy alliance with EVIL. It is poetic justice that Churchhill lost his most important goal---to preserve the British Empire. As they say, what goes around, comes around. Yes, the holocaust was begun only after Hitler knew the war was unwinnable. He knew he couldn't win the war, and wanted to "cleanse" Europe of the Jews as his legacy. Being of Czech ancestory, I cannot help but disagree with Buchanan on his views about the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, which was a patchwork of conquered non-German peoples, and falling apart of it's own dead weight. Particularly, the nonsenese that a "Sudenland" even existed as a viable independent nation within Bohemia. Bohemia was a province in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, but a Czech identity and nation existed long before the German immigrants were invited in. Britians were generally as racist as the Germans when it came to the slavs, and from that sentiment came their conviction that it wasn't worth a war to preserve the independence of a people they considered backwards and beneath their contempt. It is nonsense to view WWII as a "war against fascism"---everyone was "fascist" back them including Churchhill and FDR. Sent at: 2008 12 01
