Ashwin: When you come up with a justification how invading all your neighbours is saving a country from what anyone thinks is wrong, we can continue a meaningful discussion, and when you also explain how systematic eradication of an entire ethnic/religious group can anyhow be justified...
Sandeep: If you know WW1 so well I would assume you understood who the greatest criminals of WW2 were too. Hint: It wasn't the Germans.

I know full well what the Versailles treaty did to Germany. However, I don't understand principles of vengeance sorry. Regardless, what Germany undertook and what it's ultimate goals were, we're lucky things turned out the way they did. People only see the Holocaust, but what of the Roma, Eugenics, policies of cultural indoctrination...come on folks, the NS ideology was pure evil, don't try to make excuses for it. It's making a big comeback in Russia of all places, do you folks watch the news? How would you feel if a bunch of shaved heads in flight jackets got you under their steel toes because Adolf taught them you have no business in their land? Let's think a little please...
