Well there is no doubt that Hitler was insane, but in my opinion I think Himmler was the greatest evil in Nazi Germany. Yes it was done with Hitlers approval, but Himmler did all the work. This does not make Hitler less reponsible than Himmler, this is not what im saying, but Himmler ran the camps, the SS, the Waffen SS, the Gestapo, the SD, all policeing agencys, prisons and camps. I think Himmler reasonings were of less hatred than of power. Yes Himmler hated the Jews also, but I think his reasons were more on the level of power than hatred. This in my mind, makes him the greater evil.

What do you people think?

My dad fought in the first gulf war and acted as a peacekeeper in Bosnia. He is forty now, and still in good shape... he was going to be shipped out last year, but he had an injury in his wrist. I'm 17 now, and I am mostly concerned for my siblings because if something happened to him they would not have their father. I have two sisters and a brother who whould not be able to handle him being gone. My mom seems okay, but she looks scared and stressed. He was a member of the Special forces... what should I do to cope with the stress?

He's currently over there himself. I don't really know the details but I think he might have been there when it happened. It’s breaking my heart, I feel so bad for him.

Does anyone have any good gift ideas or things that would keep his mind busy? Or that you think he might like? I would really like to do something to help. He won't really talk to me about it (understandable), and communication is very limited for him right now anyway. So I thought if I sent him some packages full of fun stuff that it might help...maybe not, but I want to do something & I don't know what would help most.

When President Bush entered Lance Cpl. Chad Watson's hospital room, the young Marine wanted to stand and shake his hand.

Just standing is quite a feat when you have just one leg and your foot is in a cast.

Supporting himself on a walker, Watson reached out his hand but immediately lost his balance and grabbed the walker.

"The second time I went off balance again," said Watson, 23. "My brother (Brandon) saw what I was trying to do and grabbed me under my arm. That stabilized me enough to shake the president's hand."

Surrounded by family members, Watson stood upright as a fellow Marine read his Purple Heart commendation, and the president pinned the medal on his blouse.

"It was all his upper body strength," said his father, Mike Watson. "There wasn't a dry eye in the house."

Then, the president said, "Lance Cpl. Watson, I command you to sit down."

"With a smile on his face, of course," Watson said.

Mike and Gina Watson said the president and first lady Laura Bush spent about 15 minutes with their family, which included Brandon, a Mount Zion High School sophomore, and Amy, a sophomore at Northern Illinois University. His other sister, Lindsey Damery, a nurse who helped Chad Watson tremendously while hospitalized, was unable to attend.

When Chad Watson asked the president if he had a few minutes to sign autographs for his siblings, he replied, "I'll sign all day for you."

A three-star general in the president's entourage told Chad Watson that he planned to tell the Marine commandant that a young Marine who was missing one leg, with the other injured, had made the effort to stand for the president.

"That is something I am most proud of," Chad Watson said.

Correct me if i'm wrong but - more iraqis have died under US occupation than under Saddam Husein - no weapons of mass destruction were found- iraq is ruined and in civil war and life is still no better than under sadaam husein.

And dont get me wrong - i feel for the amercan sodierd fighting in iraq but why is it such a tragedy that 3000 amercans died while its so trivial that hundreds of thousands of iraqis are dead - do people value american life more than iraqi life?

Tell me, what do people who join the service think is going to be required of them if a war breaks out? Perhaps they may have to go fight for the country that HIRED them and has been PAYING them to fight? Seems logical to me. So why do so many of these spineless little scum claim all sorts of bogus moral grounds as to why they can't fulfill their duties when the stuff hits the fan and they are called to go fight? And whoever told these people that they get to decide when and where to go fight after they sign up? Does the guy who sweeps the parking lot get to tell the CEO how to run the company? No, he got hired to sweep and better expect to sweep when he comes to work. It boggles the mind, the logic these people lack! And the left hails them as heroes! THAT, and thinking similar to that, are the reasons our country is in the shape it's in. Not anything else!
