When
Germans Call You Hitler
[Col. Writ. 11/9/02]
Have you ever
wondered what politicians really think of each other? Think of the
last time you saw two politicians, say Bush and Russias Putin,
grinning like Cheshire cats at a press conference. Do you think
they really care about each other? Politicians are like actors for
corporate and class interests, it aint personal it is political.
When German parliamentary elections were held recently the social
democratics partys Gerhard Schröder vocally opposed
the Bush war in Iraq and handily got re-elected.
The SPDs
justice minister Herta Däubler-Gmelin
raised hackles on both sides of the Atlantic when she reportedly
told metal workers quote Bush wants to divert attention from
his domestic problems. It is a classic tactic, it is one that Hitler
also used.
Unquote. Official Washington and the corporate press had a conniption
fit Hitler; the SPD quickly removed Frau Däubler-Gmelin
from her post. But one wonders who knows Hitler or his tactics better
than the Germans? Arent they uniquely qualified to make
that determination? The Germans dont buy all of the
American platter about oh bringing freedom, democracy, and
McDonaldss quarter pounders with cheese to Iraq.
Germans
know that the 1929 great depression fueled the rise of Hitlers
Nazi party. With the German economy in the dumps, Hitler launched
a racist campaign against Jews, Gypsies, and Slavs. German annexed
Austria and invaded Czechoslovakia and
Poland, making it appear as if the Germans liberated these
lands. In other words Hitler wanted to divert attention from his
domestic problems. Ask yourself would Bush rather address the sad
state of the U.S. economy, the business scandals, or Iraq?
