Maybe we can only agree from within our different jeweilige perspectives, upon Strauss' word, that Hitler is the most vital dead ever. You're forgetting that Nietzsche was always already after war as his true element, he cold not bear peace. In this respect Saddam is much more like Stalin, he works like a dog to survive- Hitler was lazy -, he is there now since 1968, so he is persistent. That's why he was chosen by the US as a stable factor. I see, that -just like Jud-, you have nor read the necessary literature to be able to talk about European history. Without that one cannot understand what is going on now. As you're not in the position to mention the grave of Nietzsche, and what it is that he is doing there, not even rhetorically. rene ----------------------------------- drs.
