Good point you make, miles. But in referring to the holocaust, I would look at the big picture, this being that an atrocity against mankind occurred during that time, the victims being the Jews and the perpetrators being Nazi Germany. "Big picture wise", who really cares whether it was 4 million or 1.1 million. It was a systematic extermination of people based on their race, an event that mankind should never have to suffer again. IMO, to compare any other war or conflict to this holocaust is not right, simply because nothing like that has happened to that grand scale.

I understand some of your underlying arguments. You constantly push your agenda about the U.S. and Israel being the biggest threats to world peace, as you stated in another thread. And that is your opinion. But again, IMO, to try and draw a comparison between any U.S. military action and the holocaust (if in fact that is what you're trying to do), is grossly unfair and inaccurate.

I think the U.S. can certainly tone down some of its involvement in some parts of the world. I don't recall there ever being a vote where the U.S. was chosen to be the world's policeman or hallway monitor, if you will. Let countries settle their own affairs, unless of course their affairs threaten world peace.

In fact, you're so blinded (sorry to use that word) by your antagonistic feelings toward the U.S. military, that you brush aside the very real threat of your belligerent neighbor, North Korea. They just made the news again, and I posted the link on your threat to world peace thread.

But bottom line: it should be ok to revise numbers and exact facts about the holocaust without being vilified or persecuted. As long as it's not with the agenda of trying to minimize its impact on society or minimize the magnitude of the event.
