194. All you can do is repeatedly restate that things were worse under the Nazis than they are here
I've already admitted that -- repeatedly -- and I never implied otherwise.

It's like someone makes the point that it's important to identify a cancer when it's very small, so that it can be removed before it gets very large and kills you -- and someone argues against that by pointing out the myriad of differences between the very small cancer and a very large one.

We've already had a totally unnecessary war in Iraq leading to the deaths of close to a million civilians. Oh, but that's not ten million, so we can't compare it with Hitler's war. How many innocent deaths do you think we'll have if we nuke Iran?

Ok fine, you don't see the similarities. Lots of people do, and lots of people don't. I just hope that we have enough of the former to stop this before it gets a whole lot worse.
