[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reagan won the Cold War.  Probably the biggest contribution to humanity since the end of WWII.[/quote]

TOTAL NONSENSE!  First, Reagan didn't do anything - the USSR dissolved!  And second, since WWII we have been involved in so many more horrible and deadly wars (Korea, Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Iraq) [b]that WWII looks quaint in comparison.[/b]  [/quote]

Are you nuts? WWII look quaint? Failed history did you?

13 million dead in the Holocaust alone. Deaths to civilians from the waging of war, famine and disease attributed directly to the war...including holocaust victims, 50 million plus...and deaths to those who were a part of the war effort between 20 and 25 million. Total dead from all causes between 70 and 85 million. NOTHING that has happened so far exceeds the level of brutality and volume of human suffering during WWII. Beyond the loss of military lives, which is far less than WWII, in those other wars you will have a lot of civilians but the totals in any one of those wars, and the total of all of them, do not exceed WWII. And by no rational and factual measure can one declare they did.[/quote]

I realize this is a tangent, but watching this video really hit PP's point home for me,.

PP here who wrote about the deaths...very good video...thanks for sharing. I was surprised to learn that most of Germany's civilian deaths did not happen during the bombings.[/quote]
