comment (War Guilt Methodology) Was Germany solely to blame for WWI?
Let's say I buy Massie's argument. Britian needed a big navy to protect their island and their overseas posessions. Why did Germany need one exactly? The Germans started the "competition" by building up their navy, and they had no real existing interests to defend with that navy. One could argue this is just stating a cause and letting the reader connect the dots for blame.

comment Did the US government officially apologize for Indian Removal Act and Native American Indian genocide?
In defence of our illustrious elected weasels, rather a lot of important things get passed through Congress by being tacked onto "must pass" spending bills. The debate about wheather that's Right or not is probably off-topic here, but it is fairly common.

comment Do photos of Wernher von Braun and Neil Armstrong exist? Have they ever met?
As near as I could dig up, von Braun spent his whole NASA career working either at Huntsville or in DC. Armstrong as an astronaut would have spent almost all of his time in either Houston or Canaveral (East coast of Central FL). If they did ever bump into each other, it would almost have to be either a tour of Hunstville (as Gwenn says), or doing publicity in DC. It certianly wouldn't have been that common of an occurrance.

comment What is the historicity of the film “Revolution.com - USA: The Conquest of the East”?
Interesting, I was not aware of this movie. Is this why various countries (eg: Russia, Egypt) have been going after NGO's lately? It just looked completely nutty to me, but if folks have been watching and believing this movie, it suddenly makes sense.
