I think the point has been reached when I have to speak out against what is becoming a constant criticism of what you refer to as European countries and a constant glorification of what happens in America. I admit I shouldn't have entered into this discussion in the first place but I have done so and it will be my last involvement. Please remember that this particular forum is actually headed Grammar and Vocabulary. By all means continue with the discussion but please do it in the one headed What do you want to talk about?

You'll also notice, though, that a sort of simplistic villainizing of the United States goes on in the forums that is so automatic that people don't even notice they're doing it. Torsten made a post that was meant to show the president's innate stupidity; other people have claimed that we do things only for oil, which any informed person knows is not true. Such criticisms are objectionable only if they are made in one particular direction, I suppose.

A Polish woman in my classes declared that war is never justified. I asked her what is a better solution, and she said, "The people can talk to each other." I asked, "Why didn't the Polish people have a talk with Hitler?" She had no answer for this and even laughed at the absurdity of it. Hitler had the same mentality that terrorists and street criminals do, and talking to him only made him more aggressive. I think the idea is to learn not to misguide anybody, Poland was encourage to stand against Hitler by France and Great Britain, peace talks seriously peace talks were stopped with Polish refusal to take some German conditions of course with Europe 1939 any talks were hard and chance of success was tiny,very tiny. In Europe 1919 , and 1929 "talks" were done wrong, or not at all. History repeats itself and this is what is wrong with history. Jan
