how ignorant are you??\n\nyou are entitled to your opinion, as you live in AMERICA.\n\nNOT dumberica.. there are many places where you are NOT able to express your opinion. so, i believe you should correct your statement as to where you live.\n\nBush is a president, NOT an emperor. he was ELECTED into office whether you like it or not. \n\nSaddam was a bigger threat to "world peace" than Bush will ever be. be happy that saddam's regime is gone, and you dont have a nuclear threat from him.\n\ni consider IRAN to be a threat..(nuclear power)\n\nHITLER IS A COMMUNIST A$$ H0LE WHO HAS NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE!

The proper technology did not exist in Napoleon's day to do something of this magnitude, and its still a good rule of war today never try to invade Asia.  To truly conquer the entire world you would need good communication, (transoceanic telephone and radio capabilities), massive amounts of soldiers, (loyal soldiers), a fast way to transport troops and equipment, (Heavy trucks and aircraft and lots of them) Gasoline to power the vehicles, Nuclear or Nerve Agent weapons, (Its a horrible thing to say but the fact of the matter would be people are going to hate whom ever invades their country and will start an insurgency, (like right now in Iraq)and the easiest way to quell the issue, since you have an entire world to take over, would be to nuke them or poison them with nerve gas.  Nerve gas would probably be better because its effect usually wear off after a few weeks, wear as radiation last for years.)  (Wants the point of taking over the world when you have poisoned half of it.)\n\nLets see what else, ah definitely an anti missile system because if you use weapons of mass destruction other countries will try to use them on you and your gonna need to stop as many incoming missiles and bombs as possible.  But with even the best technology at least 10% will probably get thru so you will also want to invest in massive underground bunkers.\n\nThe best thing though to have would be an idea or proposition that could unite the rest of the world and make people want you to be their leader and take over their country.  That would probably the hardest thing to come up with.\n\nThe only person I feel that ever had half a chance at world domination was Hitler and he messed that up when he broke the cardinal rule, a war on two fronts without nearly enough men or gasoline.  He might of got away with it if he hadn't canceled all his technology plans that were not going to be finished by 1942.  If Germany had got the Atom Bomb first they would have had a really good chance.  If they didn't get he U.S. they would definitely have Africa, Europe, and Asia.\n\nThe only people today that might have a chance would be the United States and China, but I'm sure one would stop the other in a total all out nuclear exchange that would just wipe out everyone anyway, oh well.\n\n"Ab Domui Terra"

Hitler I think.  At least he was the most evil person that was able to execute his plans.

from http://www.plp.org/books/Stalin/node143.html 'when I talked to Churchill  he unhesitatingly told me he favored the use of the atomic bomb.' \n\n"It would nevertheless be wrong and imprudent to entrust the secret knowledge or experience of the atomic bomb, which the United States, Great Britain, and Canada now share, to the world organisation, while it is still in its infancy. It would be criminal madness to cast it adrift in this still agitated and un-united world. No one in any country has slept less well in their beds because this knowledge and the method and the raw materials to apply it, are at present largely retained in American hands. I do not believe we should all have slept so soundly had the positions been reversed and if some Communist or neo-Fascist State monopolised for the time being these dread agencies. The fear of them alone might easily have been used to enforce totalitarian systems upon the free democratic world, with consequences appalling to human imagination. God has willed that this shall not be and we have at least a breathing space to set our house in order before this peril has to be encountered: and even then, if no effort is spared, we should still possess So formidable a superiority as to impose effective deterrents upon its employment, or threat of employment, by others. Ultimately, when the essential brotherhood of man is truly embodied and expressed in a world organisation with all the necessary practical safeguards to make it effective, these powers would naturally be confided to that world organisation."\nSinews of Peace Address by Winston Churchill http://www.hpol.org/churchill/

He didn't take over the world by himself. He formed alliances with people like Hirohito, Mussolini and others to achieve production efficiency in the whole of Europe and Asia. \n\nThe whole world was in the throes of a severe depression. Even the United States. The League of Nations had condemned Germany and forced Germany to pay war reparations at the end of World War I which led to widespread inflation and serious poverty and a collapse of the German Mark. \n\nActually, according to fashions of the time, Hitler was kind of attractive. WE think he is ugly because he is the only person who looks like he does who did what he did. We are emotionally reacting to our knowledge of what he did when we conclude he is ugly. But, for the fashion of the times, he was considered very attractive. \n\nHe didn't take over the world by himself. In the first place, he had a lot of help in trying to take over the world. But he didn't succeed. So he didn't take over the world.

I don't have a set religion, but I would have to say Jesus. Hitler had mental issues, and he had his own Secret Soldiers kill a group of Nazis called Stormtroopers killed in an inn because they were deemed ineffective. Jesus has the help of God, who could just smote Hitler down with a terrible bowel movement, and Jesus could die but he would just be ressurected again.

Depends on what you mean as 'threat'?\n\nEconomically... yes. China currently has the fastest growing economy in the world.\n\nMilitary force... yes but as long as we remain an ally we are not in danger.

1.adolf hitler\n2> Josef Stalin\n3. Mao Tse tung\n4. ...\n\nbut maybe you mean alive or of all time? you should clarify then I';ll edit if need be...\n\n10) Teodoro Obiang Nguema, Equatorial Guinea. Age 63. In power since 1979. Last year’s rank: 10\n\n9) Seyed Ali Khamane’i, Iran. Age 66. In power since 1989. Last year’s rank: 18\n\n8) Saparmurat Niyazov, Turkmenistan. Age 65. In power since 1990. Last year’s rank: 8\n\n6) Hu Jintao, China.Age 63.In power since 2002. Last year’s rank:4\nBetween 250,000 and 300,000 political dissidents are held in “reeducation-through-labor” camps. There are no privately owned TV or radio stations. The government opens and censors mail and monitors phone calls, faxes, e-mails and text messages. \n\n5) Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan. Age 67. In power since 1990. Last year’s rank: 15\nKarimov’s army, massacred hundreds of men, women and children. A 2003 law made Karimov and all members of his family immune from prosecution forever. \n\n\n4) Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe. Age 81. In power since 1980. Last year’s rank: 9\nLife in Zimbabwe has gone from bad to worse: It has the world’s highest inflation rate, 80% unemployment and an HIV/AIDS rate of more than 20%. Life expectancy has declined since 1988 from 62 to 38 years. Mugabe forcibly evicted some 700,000 people from their homes or businesses.\n\n3) Than Shwe, Burma (Myanmar). Age 72. In power since 1992. Last year’s rank: 3\nBurma leads the world in the use of children as soldiers, and the regime is notorious for using forced labor on construction projects and as porters for the army in war zones. The long-standing house arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi, recently was extended for six months. Just to drive near her heavily guarded home is to risk arrest.\n\n2) Kim Jong-il, North Korea. Age 63. In power since 1994. Last Year’s rank: 2\nWhile the outside world focuses on Kim Jong-il’s nuclear weapons program, domestically he runs the world’s most tightly controlled society. North Korea continues to rank last in the index of press freedom compiled by Reporters Without Borders, and for the 34th straight year it earned the worst possible score on political rights and civil liberties from Freedom House. An estimated 250,000 people are confined in “reeducation camps.” Malnourishment is widespread: According to the United Nations World Food Program, the average 7-year-old boy in North Korea is almost 8 inches shorter than a South Korean boy the same age and more than 20 pounds lighter.\n\n1) Omar al-Bashir, Sudan. Age 62. In power since 1989. Last year’s rank: 1\n\nSince February 2003, Bashir’s campaign of ethnic and religious persecution has killed at least 180,000 civilians in Darfur in western Sudan and driven 2 million people from their homes. The good news is that Bashir’s army and the Janjaweed militia that he supports have all but stopped burning down villages in Darfur. The bad news is why they’ve stopped: There are few villages left to burn. The attacks now are aimed at refugee camps. While the media have called these actions “a humanitarian tragedy,” Bashir himself has escaped major condemnation. In 2005, Bashir signed a peace agreement with the largest rebel group in non-Islamic southern Sudan and allowed its leader, John Garang, to become the nation’s vice president. But Garang died in July in a helicopter crash, and Bashir’s troops still occupy the south.

Good question.  This guy certainly means to cause the world trouble - especially if he can deliver a nuclear warhead via missiles that can reach Israel and Europe.  The fact that he has planted landmines in the major canal where a vital amount of the world's oil supply ships have to travel is cause for major concern given that he could halt our economy and drive the price of fuel and heating through the roof.\n\nTo call the guy a modern-day Hitler is our media has a way of over-sensationalizing and demonizing politicians to stress the point that the world needs to deal handily with this situation.

As Winston Churchill (who, among many other British conservatives, helped to not hinder Hitler while he came to power in the idea that he would oppose world communism) had said in 1941, "If Hitler were to invade Hell, I would form an alliance with Lucifer." War makes for strange bed fellows. When the war was over, as stated above, old animosities could be revisited.

you know if you think of it in another way.. hitler is actually someone to look up to... well forget about the killing.... he was a very well opimistic person which a lot of us could use nowadays.... well they hate him because after the war he created the world became poorer... a lot of earth treaures gone missing, resources lesser than usual.... and hey    a lot more diseases are popping out because of the war he caused

Hitler was an idiot and the most not cool person in history!  People did see through him, they were just scared to say so because he was a freaking lunatic

Hitler said this.  However, by the way you ask the question, I inferred that you mean to attack christianity.  Hitler has no comparison to Christ.

Yes, Hitler was democratically elected.  What does that say about humanity?\n\nWe certainly aren't making any headway toward peace on earth, especially if posts on this site are any indication.  We seem to be becoming more animalistic.

Many countries are a threat to world peace...depends upon where you live and your opinions of the matter.
