War is inherently evil. There is no such thing as a good war. Maybe a convenient war. But not a good war. We humans have invented war. Yes, we have invented evil. Because it's convenient. Almost seen as a pleasure. An alternative to love. --Jim
The Germans marched to the tune of Deutchland uber alles. And that was a dreadful mistake. And we Americans would be making the same mistake if we started singing America uber alles. Yes, it's possible to be too patriotic. --Jim
Patriots often lose their objectivity. --Jim
Evil causes are often disguised as good causes. We're good at that in America. --Jim
uber alles (correctly written in German "ueber alles") has nothing to do with the Nazis, but was a line of a poem written in 1841 which was used for the German National Anthem. It does not translate as "above all" (that would be "ueber allen") but rather "more than anything else", as in "ich liebe Dich ueber alles in der Welt" (I love you more than anything else in the world). A misleading translation was purposely chosen by the Allies during the second world war for propagada purposes.
Danke schoen. For the German lesson. My German is not very good. Really, it's very bad. I appreciate what I've just learned. --Jim
