When the shoe fits (or is thrown), wear it. GWB wasn't so much like Hitler. He was a pawn of the person who best embodied Hitler: Cheney. They made an excuse to get into a war, much like what Hitler did. They had secret domestic spying, much like what Hitler did. They demanded party loyalty over country, much like what Hitler and the Nazis required. They were arrogant and bombastic towards their allies and neighbors, much like Hitler and the Nazis. They were very much for the fascist form of economic system, much like Hitler's plans.

I give Hitler props for having way more mod styling uniforms.
