would churchill debate hitler? of course not, there is no point.
Cav, I have thought about this one for a bit. i realized something.
If Churchill *had* debated Hitler over the radio for the world to hear, it could have prevented WWII. Consider this:
Suppose they had debated. Hitler would have made all sorts of racist claims, threats, and lies, right? Then, Churchill would have responded, refuting Hitler's points and making him look like an ass for the world. you agree so far?
Okay. The people of the world are listening, right? The people who live in Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, as well as their leaders, all hear Hitler and determine that he is an ass and he is a fool. They would not believe in his message if Churchill could disprove it.
And, as a result, the countries of Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania might not have became Hitler's allies in WWII. And without allies, he couldn't have invaded countries as he did.
So you see, an open exchange of ideas, for the world to hear, allows other nations to see a leaders' true colors. A psycho exposed will gain no allies.
