Actually it was the poor economic conditions that allowed Hittler to be 'elected' and then declare himself 'the leader.' Once he was in power it did not matter what the people wanted as they were slaves to the dictator. The people of Iraq are already slaves to the dictator. What they want, they do not voice for fear of public execution. I can not understand why the public of the "Western countries" does not understand that the people of Iraq and other dictatorships have no power to do anything, regardless of what they want. I have said it before, I'll say it again; World peace will never exist so long as dictators do. Only when the people of the countries are educated in the concept of freedom; with all of the rights, privileges, and responsibilities that go with freedom; can true peace ever be acheived. However we will never be able to educate the people so long as the dictators cling to power. My problem with the war on Iraq is that, by the example of Afganistan, Bush has no intention of following through with the necessary resorces to make them a productive and peaceful member of the global community. As a result a new dictator will fill the void and start the war all over again. -Mike Petrucelli
