Hitler was not a one man operation and the nazis sold their aggression with fabricated claims of self defense against terrorists and the nations they claimed were out to get them.
While the nazis were busy terrorizing their own people to justify an expansionist war it was all sold as self defense and bringing their superior way of life to the rest of the world via force.
Sounds like a rather familiar program to me.

I see you working as far here as the methods used. The Nazi's would look for reasons to conquer - they annexed Austria and did that Rhineland trick as the reason to go into France and the English let them have Czechleslovakia etc.
The difference is that Nazism is not based on individual freedom. Our way of life is better - I'm talking about freedom, not necessarily capitolism and Christianity although I belive those are superior ways of life. However, Americans don't think we're better than everyone else the way the Nazi's did. We gladly take the best from each culture and in fact celebrate the best in each culture. But we prefer to have people choose what's best for themselves - not be forced to live a certain way because of a government, eg. Taliban, Saddam, Castro.
