What If.....

Born Today in 1889- Adolf Hitler (murderer of over six-million people, the ultimate racist and as TIME magazine said, "...redefined the meaning of evil forever." (committed suicide Apr 30, 1945)

Hitler was born today in 1889 and I was just thinking "what if he were around today?" What if Hitler and WWII did not occur? What if instead of happening then it was happening today? Today's Germany could easily be compared to the Germany that Hitler seized control of. You have a Socialist government and a horrible economy. Germany right now has double digit unemployment. Now if Schroeder suddenly starts blaming his troubles on the Jews then we need to worry. Seriously though, lets just look at this from a theoretical standpoint. Let's pretend Hitler wasn't born in 1889, instead let's say he was born in 1959 or something like that. Now this is theoretical and WWII never happened, there was no Berlin Wall, etc. Hitler rises to power much in the same way he did in reality in the early 20th century. He begins invading Poland, France, and so on. Now today we have the UN so of course they will be upset about it. They would probably pass some resolutions expressing their outrage. How long before the world reacted? We saw how long it took the world to respond to Hitler, it would be years. The UN is full of Neville Chamberlins. The UN's failed policy of appeasement would cost most of Europe its freedom as a modern Hitler tore down the weak Socialist democracies that now inhabit the continent. Much like the Japanese response to the League of Nations, modern Hitler would declare the UN to be arrogant and irrelevant. The Un would continue dragging its feet. Maybe they would put sanctions on modern Hitler's Germany. Maybe they would put Hitler's Germany on the UN council for human rights even as he fills mass graves. I am sure the Islamic Extremists we face today would love this guy. After all there was quite a bit of cooperation between Muslims and Hitler during WWII. The only difference now is that Europe is almost predominantly Muslim or will be soon. Arab Nazism along side our theoretical modern Hitler would take the world by storm. Europe is already facing a lot of problems with Muslim Extremists.
Eventually something would happen to wake the sleeping giant and the good old USA would come to the rescue. This time, however, we have Kofi "the corrupt" Annan and his Oil for Food Scandal thugs in the UN. Modern Hitler would have already paid off UN officials, just like Saddam did, and bought votes on the security council, also just like Saddam did. Now even with half of Europe invaded and conquered, Kofi would still think we need his permission to go in and free Europe. We would do it anyway to avoid a long drawn out bureaucratic battle with the half wit appeasers and surrender monkeys at the UN. After we defeat modern Hitler and save Europe from oppression and genocide the UN and some of the same people we just saved would probably condemn the USA for acting unilaterally and supposedly "breaking international law". Even as we uncover mass graves, atrocities, and scandals that involved the UN we would be the ones blamed for committing "war crimes". The liberals in the USA would all be firing away with their anti-war rhetoric and of course blame America first for the advance of our theoretical modern Hitler and then say we should not have gotten involved. Instead of taking care of the problem before it became uncontrollable the UN and extreme left-wing nutjobs at home and abroad would insist that we should have waited for the "international community" to come onboard. Even if waiting meant there would be no international community to appeal to. They would rather wait until millions more were made into lampshades, incinerated, or put into mass graves. Perhaps they would rather wait until modern Hitler gave his terrorist allies a small nuclear device to be detonated in downtown Manhattan. Good thing this is a theoretical situation right? Remember, history is a very good teacher and it has the nasty habit of repeating itself.
Just in case you have all become too complacent there are reports that Al-Qaida operative and enemy #1 in Iraq may have nuclear capability.
