I think you are 50% correct when you say that in order for the Germans to be our ally we had to get rid of Hitler. The reason Hitler was able to come to power was because after World War I we sunk Germany into just about complete poverty. We made them made make huge repirations to the other countries they invaded, and gave them no assistance to rebuild. What made Germany our ally after World War II is that we learned from our mistake and helped rebuild the country. It is the same idea of what Lincoln did after the Civil War. Instead of punishing all of those that opposed us he let the generals go and forgave everything that happened. We had suffered enough as a whole and it wasn't worth punishing. Everyone had lost. I think the same thing has to happen in this "war". We need to come up with a stradegy that stops us from so easily being the villan to everyone. Everyone on both sides is losing, whether it's us with the billions of dollars lost and the loss of life from the being in Iraq, or whether it's from the extremests that are losing their families and their homes.
