Nearly every American would be offended by the mere thought. The few who do think it are afraid to say so, for the crazy right which is in charge of our media and our government would scream and rant that anyone voicing such an opinion is, at the very least, a traitor. But it has to be said:
In our foreign-policy, we are getting more and more like Nazi Germany under Hitler, invading countries at the will of our Fuhrer.
Of course, Hitler attacked the military powerhouses of the day; we attack and sometimes invade helpless nations. In the past few decades alone, we have attacked Korea, Vietnam, Granada, Panama, Bosnia, Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq... the list is incomplete.
And if we don't rein in the president and the Congress, the next attack will be on Iran. And God help us all.
In Usenet, the mention of Hitler is supposed to be a conversation stopper. But we had better take a hard look at our similarities to the monster of the 20th Century, before we become the monster of the 21st.
This can't be a conversation stopper; the conversation is just beginning.
