Wasn't Saddam the new hitler? Now this Iranian guy is the new hitler? Oddly both Bush and the Iranian leader have a fundamentalist view of their religion, believe their living in the end days, and are following god's wishes and designs. |

I thought Kim Jong Il was supposed to be the new Hitler. |

Everybody is a Hitler? Saddam, Kim Jong Il, Ahmedinejad, and also W. Bush? Who was Hilter the person, then? Was Hitler ever "Hitler"? Was Hitler "a Napoleon" or was he so original that he was "a Hitler" from the start? I know that Guatemala's Jorge Ubico said he was a Napoleon in his time.
These metaphors can really cause confusion.
Remember Tom Hanks in Volunteers?

Hitler was a dude who knew that the bulletin boards of the future would need someone to compare to absolutely everything. What would the world be like if you couldn't say "oh yeah, well even HITLER got elected by the people" or "that's a nice idea, too bad the NAZI PARTY came up with the exact same thing." How would discussions get quickly derailed without Hitler? I shudder to think of all the on-topic threads. God forbid. |

Hee hee hee. That's something a Nazi-lover would say!
Edit: I came across this article by Seymour Hersh while reading Andrew Sullivan. I'm posting it in the other Iran thread as well. |
