MM, When i looked into bush's eyes i saw the eyes of my father's generation, determined to rid the world of the scourge of nazism. If only that generation, particulary in europe, had preempted the Fuhrer. But i am sure there were guys back then like some here who thought Hitler need not be dealt with, even though he was in violation of the Treaty of Versailles by the early 30s. Peace in our Time, you know. IF this was clearly Hitler in iraq today and not saddam, these folks would still have the same reaction for they are driven by fear and self loathing and they blame the US for the worlds problems.

Yes, that was a wonderful line too. Here is another one of my favorites... This threat is new; America s duty is familiar. Throughout the 20th century, small groups of men seized control of great nations built armies and arsenals and set out to dominate the weak and intimidate the world. In each case, their ambitions of cruelty and murder had no limit. In each case, the ambitions of Hitlerism, militarism, and communism were defeated by the will of free peoples, by the strength of great alliances, and by the might of the United States of America. Now, in this century, the ideology of power and domination has appeared again, and seeks to gain the ultimate weapons of terror. Once again, this Nation and our friends are all that stand between a world at peace, and a world of chaos and constant alarm. Once again, we are called to defend the safety of our people, and the hopes of all mankind. And we accept this responsibility.
