I dunno, but everytime I brought up the relation or
comparison, there are a select few here who alway harp
that there is no comparision to Bush and Nazism....
or that he's for freedom and looking out for out
best interest...
Those who believe "it can't happen here" can only enable tyranny to develop. The assumption so often made is that we either support Bush or we support "the terrorists." Well, that's a rotten choice--almost unspeakably rotten--as far as I'm concerned.

This simplistic attitude is that our government must be benign. It boosts the outside chance of dissenters getting stomped to death so their "theories" don't spread. Meanwhile, despite all the talk about WMD's in Iraq, the US is trying to flood the market with more of them. Our government has even shown a sadistic commitment to creating more landmines. Best interests my ass.
