Being benevolent, perhaps this may be plausible to us.  Many people accepted the post-war German explanation that the massive tyranny of Hitler's regime had been implemented by a secretive, tightly controlled, delineated and ordered group of Nazis.  Furthermore, they contend that the majority of German citizens were unaware of the camps and atrocities, the smoking smoke stacks, night raids upon their neighbors, starving children in the streets, and the reason for coworkers to have mysteriously and suddenly disappeared.

Today nearly all alert people are aware of and understand the terrors implemented by Hussein's regime for over two decades upon Iraqi women, children, men, the Iraqi culture, social structure and Iraq's infrastructure.  Hussein's use of Iraq's greatest national resource --- oil revenue --- to construct weapons of all types including those for mass killing through nuclear, biological and chemical means is well established.  Today most people are aware of and understand the death and destruction Hussein's regime has imposed upon Iraq's neighbors, Iran and Kuwait, through invasion and war.

If the German people of post-war Germany  ---  including today's German people  ---  are so appalled, ashamed and disgusted by the terror, destruction, torture, and atrocities of Hitler's regime, why would they resist the disarming of Hussein's regime?

Why has Germany assisted and continued to provide Hussein's regime with weapons, scientists, workers, and facilities to aid construction of Hussein's war machine?  Why has Germany nourished Hussein's regime with nuclear science, manufacturing methods and facilities, and conventional weapons?

If, as today's German excuse states, the German people had known and understood, they would have resisted Hitler's regime of death and destruction and atrocities between 1933 and 1945.  How then can we today explain the German people's tolerance and support of Hussein's regime over the last decades?  How can the world understand the German people's resistance to US efforts to liberate the Iraqi people and rid the world of the dangers imposed upon all mankind by Hussein's regime?

The French people experienced a near over-run which would have been total if not for a few French patriots fighting within a loosely organized underground resistance.  France might be a part of Hitler's regime today if not for France's liberation by the United States and its allies landing on D-Day, June 6, 1944.  Even that massive effort went on for nearly another year before it was able to extricate Europe from Hitler's regime.

Why has France assisted and continued to provide Hussein's regime with fighter jets, spare parts, missiles, other types of weapons, scientists, workers, facilities to aid in the construction and maintenance of Hussein's war machine?  Why has France nourished Hussein's regime with nuclear science, facilities and conventional weapons?

How can the world understand the French people's resistance to US efforts to liberate the Iraqi people and rid the world of the dangers imposed upon all mankind by Hussein's regime?
