Week Six

America was and still remains to be a torn country. At less than 300 years young we have super hardcore Republicans, but also democrats. Extremists and liberals. A and B. One of our nations biggest flaws is its indecision, and un-unified peace perspectives. We want money, but we don't want taxes, We want jobs, but only desirable ones, etc. Such is the case with our country's involvement with the Holocaust.
At first, we shot down that Hitler's disgusting power and control even existed; then we proposed moving Jews and other prisoners out, but wouldn't take them into our own country; we considered bombing large concentration camps to eliminate the problem- really? To me, that almost makes America out to look/sound like Hitler. We wanted to be the war hero and get a purple heart without doing any work.
No matter what side of American politics one falls on, this should have been a unified relief front. No questions. Had Hitler been terrorizing Americans, we'd surely hope someone would intervene, not just come up with ideas and strategies to "float around and the next meeting."

In no way am I trying to downplay the United States' efforts in liberating prisoners, I just feel like they were trying to talk the talk- to look like the heros.
