Ted, Not if you think he can't pull off uniting the Muslim world.

With the same sort of talk that Hitler used to unite Germans?


He said the Jews rule the world by proxy. By virtue of being the only superpower, who, in fact, rules the world? And from all public appearances, the leader of the Jewish state, manages to do what he wants with impunity while the American Jewish coalition lobbies WA with great success, guaranteeing $3 billion a year in aid for Israel.

Objectively, how do you think that all looks to the world? And while there may be some similarities between the message from Hitler vs the one from the Malaysian PM, there are some important differences.

That's what makes a Hitler wannabe. Not the conservatism that Bush practices, but the scapegoat rhetoric that the Malaysian Prime Minister uses. Of course, the "whole world" (depending on what your definition of the "whole world" is) gives the Malaysian PM a free pass while focusing on the so-called "evils" of Dubya.

Sorry, but you seem to be viewing this whole situation with a bias. Aside for the holocaust atrocities, what made Hitler's name so fearful to the world was his pre-emptive attack on other countries after his campaign of accusations leveled at the offending country. Sound familiar......it should!

In Germany, before Hitler had had time to solidify his position, many prominent and respected Germans spoke out against him. Uncannily, they were either silenced or ignored. In fact, it was almost like events were orchestrated by a higher power in order to insure that Hitler was able to maneuver himself into the position of supreme leader.

<font color=brown>Ten, how is this American general's comments any better than the Malaysian PM's? In addition to the comments below, he has suggested that God intervened in the 2000 presidential election and got Bush put into power.<font color=black>

General: We're in a 'Spiritual Battle'
Says 'Christian army' fights Satan, Muslims worship 'idol'


By Craig Gordon
WASHINGTON BUREAU

October 17, 2003

Washington - A three-star general active in the search for Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein has told religious audiences that the war on terrorism is a battle between a "Christian army" and Satan, and that Muslims worship an "idol" and not a "real God."

The comments by Army Lt. Gen. William "Jerry" Boykin conflict with repeated statements by President George W. Bush that the war on terrorism is not a war against the Muslim faith, yet top Pentagon leaders yesterday refused to criticize Boykin and cited his "outstanding" 30-year military record.
