Bush and Hitler are nothing alike. Hitler came to power in unique circumstances, like the war reparations and treaty of versaille. Anyone with even a passing knowledge of Hitler and his rise to power know that they are completely different.
For those of you that watch CNN and think that the US's interest with Iraq is freeing the Iraqi people, think again. There are still countries in the world embroiled in civil war that are in much worse shape and could use the help. Do you think their interest is in the dangerous Saddam Hussein, leader of a country bombed back to the 18th century not too long ago? Do you think he is "poised to strike" with his non existant army? He would have to invade the US by cargo ship since he has no Navy and there's a "no fly zone" over his own country.
Do you think the US wants to spend billions in tanks, bombs, bullets, wages, fuel etc etc to save Iraq? Hell no. The US doesn't spend its defense budget on compassion. It "invests" it. The US will only use its military for its own political or economic gain, as it should be. Anything else would just be pissing away taxpayer dollars for zero reason. Just like any other country.
Think about it. Kuwait is lead by a dictator. Why didn't the US bring the good people of Kuwait democracy? Or Libya? Syria? Saudi Arabia? Brunei? Yemen? Etc etc etc.
I think Bush just wants to get the US people accustomed to their soldiers going around the world and shooting the fuck out of things. That's cool. But come on, spare me this "we're freeing Iraq" bullshit.
