That's all well and good, towards the end of the war, the Germans had V-2 rockets, which were the first ICBMs. I don't think the terrorists have those yet. Then again I don't think the Nazis used suicide bombing as a tactics.

It's kinda unfair to compare the nazis and terrorist. I could just as easily say how many Americans were killed on American soil by the Nazis and the numbers go the other way. Then again, I could be wrong, I don't have those numbers right on front of me.

Not to speak for s&g, but you still don't get it.

Terrorists don't need ICBM's, SUBS, fighter jets or tanks to hit us. The Nazis could not reach american soil with any weapon. Terrorists today need only an airline ticket, a car or another person and they can bring down a building or kill dozens of people in a crowded mall.

They are small, undetectable until it's too late and cost efficient.

Terrorists do indeed have far better deliever systems. They're cheaper and undetectable. I'd say that makes them better.

I try to be nice, but the exercise is wasted on one such as you. This is baseless supposition, and you are its proud author:

Quote: Germany was an existential threat. If they had been allowed a few more years of development, the Nazi's could have had the atomic bomb and the threat would have come from Germany rather than the Soviet Union.

Here's a difference between an ad hominem attack, and an ad hominem logical fallacy: when I simply say "you are a blowhard and an idiot, and proof beyond doubt that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," that's an ad hominem attack, but it's not an ad hominem logical fallacy. Rather, it's a truism.

Quote:You stated that terrorists have access to better delivery systems than the Nazis.  That is, at best, a guess.  Better delivery systems exist to be sure but, just because those delivery systems exist does not mean that terrorists have access to them.


Guess? One last chance, and one only, since you think that today's terrorists do not have delivery capability exceeding the Nazis: calculate the destructive force of a fully loaded 767 hitting, say, the World Trade Center, North Tower. Then give me the best comparison to those durned Nazis (of existential destruction fame, as torturously created by you), and their very fiercest weapons which could be trained on the US. You let me know what equivalent weaponry those Nazi fellows brought to bear.

Quote:During WWII, the United States had around 450,000 killed and around 1,000,000 wounded.  Assuming around half of those casualties occurred in the European theater, that's still a hell of a lot more than the worst any terrorist organization has ever managed to do.  Basically, when you do the math, in terms of numbers, we had a 9/11 about every 10 days.  The terrorists are way behind schedule.

No, you're way behind schedule. Every single post demonstrates that you fall further and further behind schedule, and that you are incapable of ever catching up. You still think that regurgitating irrelevant statistics somehow supports your moronic arguments. I've done the math; terrorists killed about 2800 on US soil, utilizing 2 weapons, with only the benefit of jet fuel and concentrated population. What was the body count on Fortress USA for those "US EXISTENTIAL THREATENING NAZIS" about whom you pretend to know so much?

Stick with defending West Virginia from the pesky Pennsylvanians; it may be the only solid qualification you have.

Come back and play again when you get a college education and learn how to support an argument. And here I thought all along they taught that in freshman English.
Did you know that if you say "ad hominem" really fast over and over again it sounds really weird?

Sorry. Carry on with your conversation... :wave:
