  No, it was not. The victorious powers in WWI were also responsible, by imposing the Treaty of Versailles and setting up the conditions for Hitler to reach power. That mistake was not made after WWII, and you can observe the difference. Also, he is not denying those truths significantly more than you and Martin are denying the truths that the UK (i.e. the government) was responsible for Bloody Sunday, torture in Iraq and elsewhere, the deaths of tens (probably hundreds) of thousands and the misery of millions in the Middle East, and the pogrom in Yemen. All of those were...

  EC @ 193 Oh not that tired old wrong excuse about “Unfair” Versailles again. Seen the proposed conditions Imperial Germany was going to set if they had won - & what they did do at Brest-Litovsk? You must have missed the bits where I condemned Hitler, like the very post you are replying to. PLEASE – stop it? SEE ALSO Martin @ 194 P.S. Some years ago, I was on a bus in London with some German visitors, going past the end of Ridley Road – so I told them that that was were one of the internal street-fights took...
