Um, I thought history is pretty clear that America, including and particularly Roosevelt, the catholic church, the congress, the press, etc, did sit back and knowingly let Hitler exterminate the Jews. Roosevelt even said something to the effect "I have a war to win, I can't worry about smaller problems like this." The allies liberated the camps when the germans had been defeated. There was no rush to liberate or destroy the camps before hand, which could have been done. The camps could have been easily bombed and destroyed by early 43. But Roosevelt did not want to divert precious bombing runs to save some Jews. (You gasp, "but wouldn't bombing the camps have killed the 'occupants'?" Well, some yes, many no, if the bombing was on the crematoriums not the residences. But given that al occupants were sent to their deaths, better that many in the camps would have been saved and ALL the future transports to the camps would have been saved (well at least from these camps). And since the mass exterminations greatly accelerated in 44 and 45, taking the crematoriums out in 43 would have saved millions. I suppose you are going to argue next that Lincoln went to war to free the slaves. Oh no, you are too knowledgable about that issue to fall for that myth. So what is America's karma for sitting back and letting Hitler exterminate the Jews? What's its karam for sitting back in Rawanda? Whats its karma for sitting back in Sudan? Who elses karma is it besides America's? Does America have the mandate and obligation to solve very problem, resolve every crises?
