He completely backed out.

Sounds to me like they won and he backed down.

Are we talking about Germany or Japan?

So Japan attacked us and Germany declared war on us.

Tough for them.

And that's what happens when you declare war on the United States, you get hit.

But that was an idiotic on the part of Hitler to declare war on the United States.

You know, I never understood why he ever did that.

They always said it was just because he was crazy.

But what it was is he was trying to get the Japanese to invade the Soviet Union from the east and in order to divide Stalin's forces, which failed.

And it didn't work.

And it was a huge blunder from his point of view, I guess.

Yes.

I mean, look at how powerful they ended up being and the amount of damage that they were able to inflict on the Soviets.

Better them than us.

What do you think?

Absolutely.

It's a real problem, too, because they always say everybody's Hitler, all enemies are Hitler, and to compromise with them at all is to appease Hitler, and you can never do that.

I agree.

And they do that to Manuel Noriega, to David Koresh, to Saddam Hussein, to whoever they feel like demonizing and saying it's too crazy to negotiate with.
