Regardless Whether It Is In The Hands Of Hitler Or A Jesuit Priest
"This war is not against Hitler or National Socialism but against the strength of the German people, which is to be smashed once and for all, regardless whether it is in the hands of Hitler
I believe that Churchill juxtaposing not equating the two. This sentiment arises from the fact that Germany started and caused World War I under a different political system. The atomic bomb was also dropped on Japan to destroy the will of the people. Looking back now 60 plus years they where right to do so. No problems from the Germans or the Japanese. If we had employed the same technique in the Middle East. The Jihad would be over, now we have more dead Christians in Algeria.

That sounds like it is exactly opposite of what we say today about our "enemies."
ReplyDeletePresident Bush made sure to say that the war was not against the people of Afghanistan or Islam.
Here, Churchill is saying that the war IS against the German people.
(Had there been a Jesuit priest running around hurting Brits?)
