Sidney, the mere fact that you posted that on the Internet for anyone on the planet to see proves my point. You have George Bush confused with somebody else. This is different. You're on the right side of this. This is not Nazi Germany. People you know knew people that died on Sept. 11th, 2002, Sidney. There are similarities, you are correct in that. Just so you'll know, the same protest thing happened on December 7, 1941. There were a lot of anti-war protesters back then as well. You contend that some sort of "power" allowed Hitler to do what he did. Dan Rather actually mentioned that one of the things that struck him about Saddam was his "piercing gaze". That's because Dan doesn't understand who he is looking at and what sort of person he is talking to. Dan's in a fog. Somebody in Japan was a really bad person and planned out that attack on Pearl Harbor. The United States didn't get attacked on home soil, remember. Hawaii was not a state. This time, the United States got attacked on its home soil. Billions of dollars of damage, but more importantly than that, thousands of citizens who had been engaged in their normal workdays were murdered and died painful deaths. There could even be a parallel between Bush and Roosevelt if one cared to draw it, but why bother? You have the good guys and the bad guys blended together, the comparison you want to draw between Bush and Hitler is nonsensical. Imagine you were President Roosevelt. Imagine you had access to the best intelligence gathering in the world. You could take pictures that could read license plates from space. You could monitor any wireless communication. You could have a staff of advisors that could rationally interpret this intelligence data. You could cross-check and double-check everything to make sure it was true and correct. You have sworn to protect and defend the Constitution and the citizens of of the United States. It's December 8th, 1941. What do you do, Sidney?
