THE LEGACY OF WORLD WAR II TO OUR CHILDREN
In his book, "The Second World War," Sir Winston Churchill called World War II, "The Unnecessary War," stating that "Hitler could have been stopped in 1935, in 1936 and even in 1939, if two Western democracies had not been too timorous (afraid) and too stupid to react."
At that time, the political leaders of the Western democracies were:
Franklin Roosevelt
Joseph Stalin
Winston Churchill
Charles De Gaulle
The awesome results of that fear and stupidity were:
22 million persons - killed
34 million persons - wounded
142 thousands Americans - captured
$240 billion in property - damaged at a cost exceeding $1 trillion,
"ALL UNNECESSARILY!"
The legacy of World War II (by fear and stupidity) left to our children was a National debt exceeding $250 billion, a debt that may not be paid during this century.
Thank God we have a president and administration that understands the Russians. They will soon learn to understand the Japanese. No one will ever understand the Middle East.
