Reply #29: "no different than what Hitler did"

[krkaufman]

Well, in case no one else opts to pipe-in, I'll offer that we certainly haven't setup ovens and concentration camps throughout the region. We're definitely a deranged society, it appears, and our behavior in Iraq seems to have occasionally morphed into that of the regime we derided, but the "no different than Hitler" statement is taking things a bit far.

I'd have a harder time drawing a differentiation between the peoples of 1940s Germany and our own populace. Both appear to have allowed atrocities -- of differing degrees -- to be carried-out in their name.

I *will* say that Bush's invading Iraq was just as ignorant as Hitler's invading Russia.
