Did Jesse Owens help put Hitler in power and keep him there?
Did he sell Hitler any arms?

Henry Kissinger once said during the war between Iran and Iraq, that it was the kind of conflict where you want to supply both sides with arms and hope they keep fighting as long as possible, because they were both enemies. Strategic priorities and alliances change over time for all countries, excpet the for the truly close friendships like we share with Britain. When you keep a snake around to kill the mice, you do take the risk of the snake turning on you when it runs out of mice. So then you get a mongoose or you kill it yourself.
