Ayla,

I must disagree with you and to say that I have something in common with this man that listens to no one, that has taken this country down the road of seeing the Geneva Convention's as quaint, using torture as a means to get information from criminals that have been held without trial or without being told what they have accused of, Throwing out Habeas Corpus, Redefining the powers of the Executive branch to make the branch a Divine Right Monarchy, and attempts to create a virtual one party dictatorship in MY country is an insult of the highest order.

Bush, Cheney and their administration have attempted to change what it means to actually BE an American. The Constitution means nothing to these people. To take those noble ideals and create a mockery of them is evil in my book, yes, pure and simple. Now that is IMHO is implied. You can disagree, but I DON'T think it makes me like Mr. Bush.

A man who has taken the very office he has been elected to and deformed that office and mutated that office into his own petty dictatorship, is reprehensible. A man who uses one of the worst tragedies in this nation's history as his own personal fear-mongering scape goat is evil in my book.

I would not think of twisting the words of someone's post to insult them like that. But I will RESPECTFULLY answer the points of your post.

I don't compare the losses in Iraq with the losses of the Holocaust. I don't compare the last war in America's history that had any nobility at all to Iraq. But the president has, and the Republican pundits have. I consider those people insulting to people like my father who sacrificed so much to defeat a true evil. Iraq is a petty war of choice for monetary gain, cloaked in lies.

But a comparison can be made to What Cheney and Bush do. Hitler used some very basic techniques to accomplish his desires. Simplistically, they are, 1)create an enemy to fear (Hitler: Judaism, Bush: Islam), exploit that fear, slowly take away the rights of the people, establish yourself as sole leader.

THAT was MY comparison to Hitler, not to WWII or the Holocaust.

Sorry I do tend to rant sometimes, lol. :iz :iz
