Thanks for posting that.

There are a lot of folks out there looking for the "new" Hitler. People tend to be able to find a Hitler even when there really isn't a good match. Either they don't know history, or they just don't care about making an historically accurate analogy.

I remember all the folks comparing Saddam to Hitler, and our foolish Iraqi adventure to WWII. What a ridiculous comparison, on so many levels.

Iran spending $6billion while Saudi Arabia spends 25.2 billion, only serves to show that military spending levels are an imperfect proxy for military power.
