Post ONE item per week you want everyone at USMB to consider

Article. Photo. Cartoon. Song. Video. Personal Opinion.

If you knew everyone or, a really good number of people, will consider your post in this thread, what one thing would it be?

Don't tell me.

Just post it!

And any explanatory info would also be welcomed.

I'll open the thread with this video from WWII, "Why We Fight: Prelude to War" (Frank Capra)

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm3GsSWKyso]Why We Fight: Prelude to War (Frank Capra) - YouTube[/ame]

"Prelude to War," Chapter I of Frank Capra's "Why We Fight" series, describes World War II as a battle between the "slave world" of fascism and the "free world" of American liberty. In the "slave world," the entire populations of Germany, Italy and Japan have been hoodwinked by madmen, opportunists who capitalized on their people's desperation and weakness to rise to power.

These demagogues promised revenge for past losses, and in the process convinced their people to give up their rights and accept dictatorship. In the "free world," the principles of equality, freedom, and liberty characterize the greatest leaders, embodied in the works and words of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln.

This freedom is a threat to the fascist dictators of the Axis powers, who claim that democracy is weak and must be eradicated. The film claims that the ultimate goal of the Axis powers is to enslave the nations of the "free world," a desire made manifest in the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and Mussolini's destruction of Ethiopia.

I believe everyone will enjoy this interesting film.

Historic. Interesting. Educational. Informative. Insightful.

This details the prelude to WWII, which should help in WWII era discussions, but it also deals with the same dynamics at work today as they also did in the 20's - 40's. What is America about. Why DO we fight when we do?

That's my contribution for this week. I will comment and post on others' items but I can't post a new item for consideration for a week.

Now, let's see how this works.
