War Crimes of Russia

The Times: Reports on a new film; A Woman in Berlin; that looks at Russian War Crimes in Germany after the defeat of Germany in World War Two. The film looks at the rape of German women by Russian Soldiers. The War Crimes of Germany in the Russia during World War Two are beyond human understanding, the death toll in the millions. Thus when Germany was defeated the Russian soldier had years of losses and bitter rage towards the Germans. The point is a War Crime does not justify another War Crime. The rape of countless German woman should not have happened, people are people good and bad, the old USSR was evil so was Nazi Germany, the World is better off that these two systems no longer exist, in their time they killed millions, Stalin and Hitler different side of the same coin. The new Russia should look to show that it has honour to help with financial aid those women that suffered at the hands of out of control soldiers. Ronald Reagan was right when he called the Soviet Union an Evil Empire, a BBC series a few years ago called the War between the old USSR and Nazi Germany the War of the Century. The World would have been better off if the the Red Army of the USSR and the German Army of Nazi Germany had been thrown to oblivion, a few million people could have been saved.

Shrum on the Polls

This Week: Bob Shrum argues in this article that the Democrats will win this time around, and that it will be the Republicans who will have the bad election night. This is the same Mr Shrum that has lost more Presidential Campaigns than I have had healthy dinners, I don't do healthy dinners!! Mr Shrum says your going to win Obama Campaign, get those volunteer's out now, have them work day and night, no weekend off. Obama will win, but there is a difference from a narrow win and a big win.

Somme Mud by E.P.F. Lynch ( Edited by Will Davies )

Have started to read Somme Mud, The Experiences of an Infantryman in France 1916 - 1919. Quick Review, Interesting Read, but it should be noted that the language used by Lynch is beyond the racial pale when discussing race. But it should also be noted that it was written by a man from the start of the last Century and who fought in the Battle of Somme. The views of today and the correct rejection of racist views by today's generation does not take away the story of Lynch and his fellow soldiers in the Trenches of World War One.

The Character Issue ?

Fox News: Reports that Senator Obama is taking a few days off the Campaign trail to visit his ill grandmother. This shows real character by Obama, in a fight for the Presidency taking hours or days off is a risk of losing that voter, but Obama is showing real character, hat off to you Sir.
