| − | :(ec) Here's the problem as I see it: [[Julius Streicher]] & [[Alfred Rosenberg]] were hung at [[Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal|Nuremberg]] for the words they put in print (Goebbels was already dead). As I student, I said, "Wait a minute, don't we Americans believe in [[free speech]]?" The answer I got was, "Yah Rob, but they had it coming." So I read Streicher & Rosenberg's words for myself. Rosenberg's ''Myth of the Twentieth Century''. I also read Haushofer's book on Geopolitiks. Streicher published a periodical, so I read what excerpts I could get a hold of. And the plain fact is, when I read your Essays on Russia, they sound as "benign" as anything Rosenberg, Haushofer, of Streicher wrote. | + | :(ec) Here's the problem as I see it: [[Julius Streicher]] & [[Alfred Rosenberg]] were hung at [[Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal|Nuremberg]] for the words they put in print (Goebbels was already dead).

I concluded that then, and I get that same feeling and impression when I read your Essays now. | | :I guess it was the ''intent'' behind what they wrote that got them hung.
