black, Bill Moyers did a special about 10 years ago on WWII and the treatment of European Jews and the slant I got from it was that we had opportunities to bomb Auschwitz, Treblinka,and other Nazi death camps but the information was either discarded, overlooked, or just plain ignored. Now Moyers is not a rip roaring right winger man but he raised an important issue: The opportunity was their and we did not go with it. I can see both sides of the issue a bit better then Iraq because its more objective but my position on the Nazi death camps and Auschwitz is this: We knew to a certain extent what was going on over their, we extemely curtailed visas from Jews trying to escape being killed in the pre-war years and the start of WWII, and other countries like the UK and France had similar guidelines as well.
Bottom line black, we had the opportunity to do more to stop the killing in the death camps but we did not do it. Sure we had a war to win and thats all well and good I understand that but man when you see and have clear credible intelligence that a brutal evil thing like that is going on by your enemies, it is not right to ignore or not do something
