Neo's comparison there really is absurd though, Hawk ... if you're going to prematurely invoke Godwin's Law in painting as nazis some contemporary party, then the mantle of Hitler fits far better on your hee-roe Dubya than it does on sad old Saddam -

There will come one day, should the independent democracies prove able to survive the current period, a Teheran conference, a Yalta ..... be advised, amigo, that should you be offered a seat at table, you could do far better than to send as your national representative some domineering self-appointed lord of a neocon

the fact that so many people tolerate it.

I, for one, do not.

How would you suggest people should express their non-tolerance? For example, in another reply to this same post of yours, Marcos states that in the context of the discussion which you were having, "the mantle of Hitler fits far better on your hee-roe Dubya than it does on sad old Saddam" -- which is totally unacceptable -- and he gives links to another couple of posts of a similar nature in order to illustrate his point.

I am not a fast writer, and I don't have the time to get into lengthy and - almost certainly a priori fruitless - discussions with people who assert with great confidence and conviction the new(er) incarnation of the old theory of "World Domination" - this time, by a group called "Neocons", who, as we are told, "tend" to be "Jewish, urban and intellectual"

So, Hawk, please do not assume that a paucity of replies to fringe posts implies any degree of "tolerance".
