Lindy, connecting Bush with Hitler or with Kim Jong Il. What is the difference. Kim Jong Il says that he wants to build nuclear weapons and use it on the US before the US uses them on him. Hitler was marching his armies into countries left and right because not doing so did not agree with his plans. Hitler isolated his country from the other nations of the world except for Mussolini etc. History repeats itself, is it not? So why asking for a discussion on this is out of line? At least I credit you that my equating Bush with Hitler is not considered by you as blasphemous. So we really need to take a hard look at pre-emptive strikes.

Lindy, I realize that some supporters of Bush place him high up there and would take serious offence to things like my comparing him to Hitler. However, I would like to state again that Bush as a person is a very good person. He himself is very democratic, very open to criticism. On TV he came across as very genuine when he declared that those British crowds had a right to demonstrate, that he values freedom of speech more than facing criticism for his actions. Even the Dixie Chicks incident was something that he came across as very genuinely open to criticism. So I wonder why some folks support him with a zeal which he himself would not want. He has some traits of his father, whom they mistakenly called a wimp. Remember those days when some Republican friends of his father called him a wimp. It is the people who surround this President that I have a problem with. Not him. You think the Bush doctrine is his? Heck no. it is the Cheney-Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz doctrine. You think Bush calling Ariel Sharon a "man of peace" is what Bush would really say. Heck no. That is what Wolfowitz put in Bush's mouth.
