>>That picture of a man armed with a machine gun, pointed at a kids head, screams storm trooper, does it not?<<

No, it doesn't "scream storm trooper." You are as offensive with this as Griffin. Storm troopers didn't walk in and out of these situtaions; they slowly and painfully killed all opponents. The Jews in Germany didn't have guns aimed at them--they were burnt to cinders in ovens or gassed or starved to death by storm troopers, et al. To compare someone who points a gun at someone else with the endless blood lust and sadism of the Deutsche somnderkommandos is to cheapen the horrors of the Holocaust.

Like Griffin, I wish I could transport you back in time so that you could witness the actions of the storm troopers--you would never make that comparison again.
