Just to get it out of the way.
I blame our KKK President W. Wilson. A Democrat.

If the public knew its US history in the mideast, we'd never have given President Bush the blank check we did on Iraq. We messed with the government in Iraq the same way we messed with Iran, and it has always been about oil.
What this video shows are our blind spots--first communism and now terrorism.

Great info, its a subject that rarely talked about in depth.
How about instead of the History Channel showing about 20 different documentaries and specials on WWII and Hitler, it talk about things like this?

This guy seems to make a number of conclusions, which may (or may not) be based on fact. I thought this was going to be a book based on personal knowledge and observations, but it turns out to be based on research of "historical documents." Which may be OK, but when you do that, how do you know A) The documents are authentic and accurate and B) you have located ALL the relevant documents. It's also hard to know, for sure, that you have correctly interpreted the contents of all the documents you HAVE found, considering you MAY NOT be fully aware of the context in which those documents belong. It is very interesting though...
