<<so ridiculous that it doesn't even deserve a comment>>

I'm sure that Chamberlain would have made a similar comment in 1938 to anyone who claimed that Hitler would end up killing 20 million people.

"All It Takes for Evil to Triumph is for Good Men to Do Nothing" - or even worse, to see nothing.

Cho - I'm not saying that Bush is on par with Hitler but there are similar parallells in terms of the amount of power that he has garnered, his willingness to use it, and his disrespect for for the International institution. This is a dangerous situation that could be badly abused.
...Beyond that, I do take comfort from the fact that we,as a nation, have pulled back from the drumbeat of terrorism and are looking more and more for UN certification. SoO no I don't think that it will get out of hand.

But, please, don't just assume that because Bush is not as hateful as Hitler was, that he is incapable of going too far. Always be prepared to challenge your own beliefs.

I am sorry if this offends you, but it is an analogy that a rising number of people are making.

Aggression, power trip, police state, etc are among the points of comparison, I believe.
