Connection Across Time- Chapter 29

Today, many are fighting a war at two fronts: Iraq and Afghanistan. Just like in WWII there were two fronts: Europe and the Pacific Islands. Just like in WWII, many are fighting for another people's freedom. In WWII the world was fighting for the freedom of the Jews, and the bringing of justice of a tyrannical leader, Adolf Hitler. In Operation Iraqi Freedom, the United States was looking to bring justice to another tyrannical leader, Suddam Hussein. The United States found Hussein in a ditch and was sentenced to be hung. Although no nation has found Hitlers body, most historians believe that Hitler committed suicide because he knew his reign as a leader was out of time and did not want to be captured by the United States and be charged of war crimes. There are some of the same countries involved with Operation Iraqi Freedom that were involved with WWII, such as Great Britain.
