my only point was the peace that was forced on germany after that war was what eventually lead to ww2. i've done more studying on ww1, germany was made out to be the bad guy-but the start of that war, and the build up...well, i don't think germany was the only one at fault for that war.

i don't think us invading iraq was the greatest tragedy in history-there's a lot of history, and a lot of tragedy.
but i do think that it was a tremendous mistake. ill advised, ill planned, poorly waged, and took too much away from afganistan.

"The peace forced on Germany" is an interesting way to put it. Perhaps "They lost" would be a better way to explain why German nationalism led to Hitler and WW2.

I wasn't inferring that you in particular said that Iraq was the greatest tragedy in history but when you look at past "wars" it really is hardly more than a blip on the radar screen.
