I'm glad he's dead. I'm only sorry it wasn't due to being tortured to death, which is what should happen to all dictators.

Every time one of the old guys goes his way,
I'm opening some bottles of wine to get drunk
big time.
I've started this tradition with Ceaucescu,
(I had the honour to live under his glorious
rule for the first ten years of my life).
Then came Idi Amin, Pinochet, Suharto, and
Mengistu may follow soon when Mugabe is no
longer there to protect him.
It's a really nice thing, I suggest you do it
too.

Why not? it sounds awesome..

You started with a good mark, so to speak. The entire Kremlin, and most of the world, east and west, probably joined you with that drink.

I've have done the same, but Chiang Kai-shek died 5 years before I was born. It's not the same thing to start retroactively.

Oh well. Good riddance to them.

Do you possess any evidence proving Hitler was responsible for the Reichstag fire?

>Do you possess any evidence proving Hitler was responsible for the Reichstag fire?

He was to blame for everything that was wrong with the world since he started having ideas above his station, up to him becoming an hero. That's all the evidence you need.

Actually, Reichspresident and War Ubergeneral Hindenburg is the asshole. First he invents the "stabbed in the back" legend to save his own ass, then he invests the "little bohemian corporal" with chancellor powers being a bit senile and all that. The Reichtagsbrand (which was NOT a Nazi setup) just railroaded the Nazi power takeover.

So, who can better set an raging fire to a large building? A single, disturbed Dutch red who's probably had his head beaten so much by brownshirts with truncheons he can't put together two coherent thoughts at his trial, as the Nazis said, or a squad of state agents who were unmonitored, unregulated, and had access to the supplies necessary.

While I seriously, seriously doubt Bush was responsible for 9/11, it's pretty obvious who started the Reichstag Fire--and it did stand empty for the entirety of the war. They're too different things.

Plus, that would involve assuming Bush could mastermind something that elaborate and complex. Bullshit.

Robert O. Paxton, in "The Anatomy of Fascism" writes:

"It was long believed that the Nazis themselves set the fire and them framed a dim-witted Dutch communist youth found on the premises, Marinus van der Lubbe, in order to persuade the public to accept extreme anticommunist measures. Today most historians believe that van der Lubbe really lit the fire, and that Hitler and his associates, taken by surprise, really believed a communist coup had begun. Enough Germans shared their panic to give the Nazis almost unlimited leeway."

I really wanted Giuliani to win the nomination.

Clearly he couldn't. But the people behind him (um... his dad maybe?) are a lot smarter than he is obviously.

THE first documentary evidence has emerged to support the view that the Nazis started the 1933 Reichstag fire that Hitler used as a pretext to establish a dictatorship.

While historians have agreed that there is no substance to Nazi claims that German Communists were to blame for the blaze, there has also been a lack of evidence to back the widely held belief that Hitler's supporters burnt down the parliament building in Berlin.

After poring over 50,000 pages of hitherto unexamined documents from former East German and Soviet archives, four leading German historians have now concluded that the fire was a Nazi plot. Marinus van der Lubbe, 24, a pro-Communist Dutch labourer, was beheaded by the Nazis after admitting that he started the blaze alone to encourage a workers' uprising.

Bumping creepy Obama thred.

I hear Obama recently did ... certain things ... in front of AIPAC ...

"The man who had brought me now squirmed to a point directly beside the hideous flame, and made stiff ceremonial motions to the semi-circle he faced. At certain stages of the ritual they did grovelling obeisance, especially when he held above his head that abhorrent Necronomicon he had taken with him; and I shared all the obeisances because I had been summoned to this festival by the writings of my forefathers."

For those who think guy is the great hope for freedom and democracy that will undo all the damage Bush has done, just wait until you see whatever dictator the rednecks pull out of their asses to replace him in a similar fashion in 4 to 8 years... action, reaction, worse reaction. We'll never see the end of this.

Obama's National Security Working Group:

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
Senator David Boren, former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
Secretary of State Warren Christopher
Greg Craig, former director of the State Department Office of Policy Planning
Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig
Representative Lee Hamilton, former Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee
Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder
Dr. Tony Lake, former National Security Advisor
Senator Sam Nunn, former Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee
Secretary of Defense William Perry
Dr. Susan Rice, former Assistant Secretary of State
Representative Tim Roemer, 9/11 Commissioner
Jim Steinberg, former Deputy National Security Advisor

"Change" to make you throw up into next week! Here's a more productive use of your time: you can immediately prepare war crimes indictments -- for everyone now in Washington responsible for planning, implementing and funding our foreign policy (yes, that includes Obama himself), and for everyone on this list. The only people who should be excepted are those who have voted against every Iraq-Afghanistan funding bill. I think that means Kucinich and Paul remain at liberty, and no one else.

As an australian i dont really care who gets in, americas a falling superpower and Kevin Rudd has distanced us enough from it. but i think he'll be better than the opposition at the moment, albeit still shitty.

and >>6 if he was a Stalinist i would be actively campaigning for him.

Because dictators are considered evil and evil is in the eye of the beholder.

I don't think you quite understood the question.

aAd I don't think you quite understood the answer.

Paranormal is "real things"? I think not.

Idi Amin and GW Bush and the Nephilim are very real though, as everyone knows. That was my point.

Unfortunately reincarnation is now subject of a permit by the Relevant Chinese Authorities.

Severing hands was a legal form of punishment in
lamaist tibet. However, the chinese are SOO much
better at mass murder. You know, it just help to
be less pacifistic.

sorry, reincarnation doesn't exist, you fail.

It may not exist, but you still need a permit.

Pics of its non-existence or it did happen

Here be no reincarnation, it doesn't exist.

If I was a Dictator, oriental religions would be outlawed, only oriental inmigrants would be allowed to practice their religion but far away from the public's eye, inside their houses and disguised temples, they can't make any noises.

I don't want their dirty Nirvana all over my Heaven.

>>7

Oh and by outlawed I mean they can't show in public they belong to that religion nor talk anybody about it.

Mostly random or obscure there's references to reincarnation in old religions in the occidental world.

The Celts, the Greeks, African practices, Gnostics, some parts of Judaism, Norse, Native America.

So yeah some conquerors have been quite lazy on that task of stomping out the idea completely.

There be no God or Heaven, they're just lies made for social control.

or not actually, but man he's fat

idi is still my idol and fav dictator. he just has this crazy charisma.

>>4

And he ended up in Saudi Arabia, basically a wastrel freeloader, courtesy of the House of Saud. And only because he'd become a Sand Nigger - in his case, LITERALLY! What a FAILURE!

>>4
You're probably a nigger.

I love Idi Amin with all my heart and soul. He was the Caligula of Africa.

He had this habit of burning some of his border-zone villages before waging the next war
so he could tell the world the other side did it.
Wasn't very good at it, though.

>>idi amin was probably the fattest dictator evar

Its because he ate his competitors.

I shouldn't have laughed at this, but I did.

Kos it's true.

I think I wrote that, drunk. I don't quite recall. This means I get to laugh at my own joke without feeling like I'm laughing at my own joke.

bump for killing 1/3 of the population of cambodia

Polly was Potty!

Well, he doesn't do potty now, that's for sure. That guy holds the record in the most killings
per capita. He managed to kill 30% of his contries population in only four years.
He didn't even use bullets, as it was cheaper to beat them to death (I'm not joking, there was a
standing order not to use bullets).

>>5

He might have gone further, if the VPA (formerly NVA) hadn't decided to roll all over Cambodia like a T-34 over a small rodent. No more Khmer Rouge.

It takes quite a dictator to sufficiently rattle a nation that was bombed more than all of Europe exclusively.

Bollocks.

Ah, the first and only emperor of America. I heard he lives in San Fran.
