In a way I agree as well as disagree with Lonnie.... In actuality, the estimated total number of deaths in WW II pales compared to the numbers that have been experienced in various nations of the world since the close of WW II. The Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, the Red March in China for Mao Tse Dhung, Nigeria, the Stalin Purges during the cold war, the Iran-Iraq War, ad infinitum, ad nauseum, have killed and continue to kill sufficient numbers to the point some nations are experiencing negative growth. Lonnie's point is well taken with the exception that the large majority of countries in the world don't experience the benefits as he lists... in my opinion...
