text: Thank you.  I was able to find a lot about him on the internet. I also read some "conservative" criticisms of Howard Zinn and now understand your response to my recommendation of his lecture. I found a lot of fault with the analysis, but that's a different story.  All analyses are inadequate. Even the best marine biologists in the world testifying on both sides of the Exxon Valdez spill trial couldn't agree on the science.
  
  I was already aware of the many relationships between the US and Nazi Germany, and the mutual admiration. I think bankers in the US supported both Germany and the US, and I also believe that many Nazis were assisted in relocation to the US after the war. They were seen as assets in the cold war and in fighting communism.  I don't divide reality, not even political reality, into right/left, liberal/conservative.   I don't blame things on the "right" or the "left."  I'm a-political but I have to admit that this election is interesting, and I can't read enough.
