Hi bbm; Re: "... constantly quoting Goebbels and Hitler to make a pointless point. It isn't necessary, it's a cheap rhetorical device, it's old news, it doesn't add anything, and it's below the level of what everybody expects from this thread."

But at the same time, I'm going to guess that you probably don't object to people making comparisons of Hitler and Saddam, or talking about appeasement and Chamberlain.

I agree with you, but in the more full sense. The world is too complicated to be analyzed by sharp little sound bites and facile comparisons with badly learnt history are the worst sort.
