if WWII had been fought with premises like these...
we would have pre-emptively firebombed the germans while they were disorganized and poor in the 20s.
man would we be heroes then, eh?

Not as easy a question to answer as you make it out to be is it?
A pre-emptive strike on Germany, let's say 10 years before WWII?
How many lives might have been saved had Hitler's plans never come to fruition?
Just averting the hollocaust alone would be enough to justify it for me....and that's not even considering all of the people who died during that war in the European theatre. [/b][/quote]
if WWII had been fought with premises like these...
the Nazi's would have been declared the imminent threat to freedom and democracy and then El Salvador would have been invaded to quell this oncoming threat. Much like Iraq was invaded to deal a crushing blow to the imminent threat of terrorism and WMD's. But then, Bush didn't even get the 'imminent' part right.
Tough question indeed...
