And what would be the WtP behind this historical polemics?
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.
