Let's see.... removing ones bulletin board post, vs slaughtering millions of Jews...seem's like a fair comparison.
You gotta pick your fights better, kid...

Let's see... slaughtering millions of Jews vs. preemptive striking an extremely hostile and unpredictable nation which ALSO has slaughtered millions, while risking the lives of American soldiers to purposely AVOID civilian casualties in said strike.. . Another ingenious comparison.

I have no issue with people hating Bush and his actions, but comparing him to Nazi Germany is as ridiculous as the OP's comparing Matador to them.

I'm gonna get a lot of shit for this, but I hope that common sense prevails and I don't.

The Nazis committed some of the worst war crimes in history. The Bush Administration did not. But there ARE correlations, and they don't lessen the horribleness of the Nazis or elevate the Bush regime to that level, but:

The Nazis blamed the troubles of Germany on a vague threat, The Jews, and proceeded to exterminate them and proceeded to whip up nationalist frenzy to keep the German peoples' minds off of their domestic problems.

The Bush regime is waging a campaign of fear throughout the country to keep everybody's minds off of how badly they're fucking the economy and most things here at home. The nationalist frenzy has already been whipped up here. People are free to criticize, but the administration has said it won't pay any attention and people are lightning-quick to label those people UnAmerican.

The Nazis strove for world domination of the Aryan race.

The Bush Regime isn't racist like that, but has made very public their desires for complete control over all of the planet's politics and power through their new National Security doctrine, which reads like a manifesto for world domination, with no regards for the security of other nations, just ours, as if that could create any sense of "security."

no, the current administration is not exterminating millions in a calculated way, but short of that, the tactics just aren't that different. It doesn't mean Hitler wasn't exponentially worse than Bush, but on a smaller scale, sans genocide, the Bush regime is doing shockingly similar things, and they NEED to be called on it. But the world is afraid to do so, because whoever says something will be labeled a "terrorist" (blanket term for anyone who might threaten us in any way) and be next in line for pre-emptive strike.
