Heh... well, Hitler may have been a political genius at the art of 
demagoguery, but he was a moron in terms of broader political strategy, 
not to mention that of the military.  Had he any brains there 
whatsoever, he would have "cleaned up" his Germany and been content... 
though I suppose the argument could be made that the situation with 
international banking would have driven him to war sooner or later.

I'd have chosen later... but then, war doesn't give me wood.
