Having plans is much different than doing something. I read the British thought it would be dishonorable. Both excuses are pathetic anyways so it doesn't matter which one is correct. Hitler walked around very frequently with few bodyguards and in many cases no bodyguards. I don't see why it would be so difficult. They had no idea how good of a commander he'd have been around 1938 so your reason completely falls apart.

I'd also think the ethnic cleansing of 9-16 million Germans(2 million died) would be hard to cover up, but for the most part they've succeeded. They've also covered up Operation Keelhaul very well.

Are you advocating that the US and other powerful countries should engage in the assassination of potential troublemakers?
You also neglect that there wasn't an assassination attempt on Stalin in '39. Or Mussolini in '36 or '39. Or...

10,000 prisoners were transfered in Operation Keelhaul, the first published account of it was about a decade after it happened.
You're talking about a million dead in Western camps, all covered up.
Including the operations prior to Operation Keelhaul regarding the Russians that were sent back to Russia, it may be up to 5 million. Many of them died. Without question one of the worst acts in World War 2, and it was covered up for maybe 50 years.
It makes sense to target the psychotic leader before targeting their civilian population as the Allies constantly did. Personally I would have preferred the Allies remain neutral, including our businesses. World War 2 never would have happened.
My last questions on this thread:was the Bengal famine caused by British policy during the war(1-3 million deaths)? Was the Morgenthau Plan real(a plan that would have killed maybe 20 million Germans if carried out, and signed by Roosevelt and Churchill)? Did Roosevelt have 6 million pigs(mostly piglets) killed in his first year as President?
I dunno, but I love that rainforests1 is here because it's always an interesting conversation. 
Interesting is good.
Interesting is good.
There may be some interesting tangents, but ultimately, trying to counter conspiracy theories with facts becomes very tedious, not to mention a waste of time, because no matter how many facts are presented, the conspiracy theorist will take everything as further confirmation of whatever insanity s/he believes.
So one is left with a choice between spending time presenting facts, to no avail, or letting the idiocy stand uncountered. Frankly, it depresses me that at a time when so much information is so readily available, people still prefer to believe in absurdities than to become informed. It tells me that humans haven't progressed at all - we've just become more dangerous, because technology in the hands of primitive minds is a truly dangerous thing.

The way that some people group every alternative theory and its proposer as "conspiracy theory with a crazy person" gets a bit tedious though.
"I think that the government had something to do with 9/11"
or
"This piece of information doesn't fit together with the scenario/contradicts it"
"OMG you think the JEWS did 9/11, you antisemetic person, nazi , USA USA USA *clap clap clap*"

Oh really? Where has anyone on this board done anything like that? I'd be interested in some links, please.
Again, I'd be interested to see what you consider a rational alternative theory that has been so depicted. I'd again be interested in links.

I haven't followed this conversation, but someone saying "the jews did 9/11" would raise some red flags for me because it tends to go along with a bigger ideology.

That was actually a cornerstone of early 9/11 conspiracies. A number of the new world order type conspiracy theories have "It's the Jews" at the heart, so it's not terribly surprising that the 9/11 stuff (at least some of it) followed suit.
Yes. A lot/most/all of the Federal Reserve conspiracy stuff has its rootsin anti Semitism also. As of course, the Holocaust denial/Hitler apologia stuff.

I love this thread so much that I want to marry it and have its babies. And then have an affair with the Genghis Khan thread.

Wouldn't that be Dianetics? Battlefield was written back when Hubbard was still open about being a SF author.
And it's still taken seriously by Scientologists everywhere as a very real potential future for humanity.
