If Germany had won the World War

If Germany had won the World War
There would have been:
No Communism.
No Cold War.
No nuclear weapon proliferation
No Israel
No Middle East crisis
No terrorists
No shortage of fuel
No cheaply manufactured products
No grid-lock in party politics
No inefficient and worn-out national infrastructures
No argument over global warming or delay in universal action
No economic melt-down
No unemployment
No Fords and Chevies,
only Beamers and Mercs
Hell! Seems to me the bad guys won.

The Scapegoat

In early times when the combined guilt of a population soured their will to be more caring of their neighbors and more creative in their lives, the chieftain would call forth the witchdoctors and have them cleanse the sins of his people. A goat would be brought forth and witchdoctors would wave their magic wands and transfer all guilt onto the goat and then offer it up to the gods as burnt sacrfice. With their guilts now miraculously paid for the people would be re-newed and start fresh again.

The Nazis have been our main scapegoat for the past fifty years. No matter how bad we are, none of us are THAT bad. In the meantime, unable to shoulder our individual and national guilts, like nuking cities filled with woman and children and napalming whole countries and all forms of unmentionable intrigues conducted by our secret services, including torture, our collective guilt has reached a point where not just the Jews, but the planet itself is being incinerated by our filthy carbon immissions and our pious attitude that it is not our fault. So the question is: Who will we use as the scapegoat this time? And who will wield the magic wand?

Oh yeah! Osama Ben Laden! And Saddam Hussein. And also Iran and North Korea.
Hells bells! We are okay, there are plenty of goats out there. And there is always a big chief who set it right for us.
