I agree. It is a very big deal. After the treaty of Versailles the Allies were in complete control of Germany militarily. If we had not let them build up their armed forces (which we could have done relatively easily) millions upon millions of people wouild not have lost their lives. That is the difference.

While WW2 could have been avioded if they did not screw over germany so baddly affter WW1, since there econmny whent down hill so much affter WW1 they where forced in to taking ratical actacking witch alowed hittler to come to power.

Dan is right, if we had made the treaty of Versailles better we could have headed off WWII even earlier.

But as for the war in Iraq it seems to me like it is turning into another Vietnam for Washington. With the handover of power to come in less than a week I believe, either the Coalition will not be able to keep to their promises of turning control over (which is a sham anyways because they set up the interm government) or the country will enter into a state of complete anarchy. Even this week forigners are still being kidnapped and murdered by renegade militants. Also they are attacking Iraq's infastrure to try and turn the population against the Americans, and it is working. Some Iraqis have even said they prefered Saddam's rule over the American's, which is a sure sign that the 'war' in Iraq is not going well for the Americans. I put the word war in quotations because I believe that Washington did not classify this conflict as a war so they can avoid the constraints of the Geneva convention.

In conclusion, I think it was wrong for the coalition nations to become involved because they lost many of their young men's lives to little purpose. Iraq has some fundamental probems (chiefly different factions of Islam that don't get along well with each other) which can't be solved in anything resembling a short time.
