[Richard Kimball]

The US preoccupation with Hitler and WWII comes from several converging things. First, WWII was the last time that we could go to war and literally do anything we could think of and not destroy the world. That thought still appeals to us. While we keep looking for stronger weapons, we miss the days when we could throw everything at an enemy and know the world would still be there tomorrow.

Since the battlefields were almost everywhere except the Americas, it wasn't American cities getting bombed (Pearl Harbor was the exception.) Not just Germany, but all of Europe looked at the end of WWII and said, "No matter what happens, this can never happen again."

That's not to minimize American suffering with the people who suffered and died, the fathers, sons, husbands and brothers who never came home. But WWII did not destroy America's soul. Europe never recovered. The scars are still there.

That's the American fascination with Hitler. He looks like a character created for a movie. WWII was the last real World War. The next one will be just like the book of Revelation. A star will fall from the heavens and a third of the seas will die...It will make WWII look like a pillow fight.

A star will fall from the heavens and a third of the seas will die...It will make WWII look like a pillow fight. .......................... We won’t be around so we won’t feel a thing. If I had to predict the end of the world, I too would bet on an asteroid collision, not a global conflict.
