Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

My comment might be slightly OT, but the only appeasment I can see today, is the appeasment of Bush and his junta. So, yes to a certain degree the Weimar time might repeat itself by European and other countries of this world closing their eyes to what happens in the US. As someone mentioned above, Hitler didn't come into power and poooow the next day Germany was the Nazi state - non it took subversion of the fundaments of the Weimar Republic or the US constitution today, and when it was clearly visible to everyone it was too late.

Actually that's pretty much what did happen. Within three months Hitler had obtained absolute power (Enabling Law) and within six months all parties, unions and political organizations had been banned, ditto for all independent press organs, and they were well on their way to getting rid of all independent non-political organizations - the Gleichschaltung went very, very quickly.
