Do you really blame North Korea for trying to build a nuclear arsenal? The world knows Bush is a loose cannon and has the potential to do more harm to this world than Hitler ever dreamed of.
Hitler didnt start invading countries or putting jews in concentration camps until 4 years after being in power, we have yet to see what Bush will do.
Even at this point there are some eerie parallels:
In 1933 the Reichstag was burned to the ground, Hitler blamed the Communists and used this as an opportunity for shredding the Weimar Constitution, just as the attack on the World Trade Center provide the Republican administration with the rationale for abolishing freedoms placed from the United States Constitution.
Hitler detached himself from the League of Nations, Bush is in the process of detaching himself from the UN
In Mein Kampf Hitler wrote exactly what he was going to do when
he got into power. Bush has stated on at least three documented
occasions that he would prefer to be a dictator as that would make his job easier. Bush also stated that "there should be limits to freedom."
In 1934 a special People's Court was established to judge cases of treason which, by definition, could mean almost anything including criticism of the government. Ari Fleischer and John A s h c r o f t have both warned US citizens to be careful in what they say.
Early in August, A s h c r o f t proposed a Camp that would allow him to order indefinite incarceration of U.S citizens, stripping them of their constitutional rights and access to attorneys, merely by declaring them to be enemy combatants. It is quite clear that this action runs counter to constitutional guarantees and is frighteningly similar to the tactics of Hitler.
Hitler created a police force to control the people, it was called the "Gestapo." Bush wants to implement the TIPS program that would be similar to the "Gestapo." He wants a million Americans to sign up to spy on other Americans.
Hitler used the military against the citizens and Bush wants to do it to. The Bush administration has directed lawyers in the Departments of Justice and Defense to review the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 and any other laws that sharply
restrict the military's ability to participate in domestic law enforcement.
The Enabling Act of 1934?labeled "Law for the Relief of the
Distress of Nation and State"?gave Hitler's government the right to make laws and treaties without approval of the Reichstag even
when those laws violated the country's constitution. Bush told
Congress he does not need its approval either to declare war or to ignore treaties the US has been a party to.
Hitler spoke of "the Fatherland" and of what was best for its
security, including the detaining of citizens and others without
charge, access to counsel, and with no appeal from the People's
Court. Bush has signed executive orders that give him absolute power to control "the Homeland" for the sake of security. The US PATRIOT Act and the Homeland Security Act have given Bush the right to rule for an undefined period with broad powers unrestrained by law. To facilitate this, he has increased the
powers of the FBI, CIA, NSA, etc

trying to give credibility to a comparison to Bush and Hitler has to the the height of uninformed, totally bias, plain ol stupidy.
I sincerely feel sorry for you - I really do. |
