Hitler invaded Poland, France… unprovoked. George W. Bush invaded both Afghanistan and Iraq unprovoked. What about 9/11? Bush himself told us the World Trade terrorists were Saudis — not an Afghan or Iraqi in the lot. Hitler refrained from using poison gas, having experienced it first hand in WW I. Bush used a variety of banned weapons including white phosphorus, napalm, cluster bombs and land mines. Hitler set up puppet provisional governments in his conquered territories and declared those who opposed them terrorists. Bush set up corrupt drug and war lords as his puppet dictators in both Afghanistan and Iraq and declared those who opposed them terrorists. The Nazis starved and worked their own Jewish citizens to death. The American routinely tortured their P.O.W.s. Germans built hidden rooms in their houses to shelter Jews. American teabaggers waved guns at rallies to intimidate immigrants. The Nazis were hanged using newly created laws against war crimes. Bush, Cheney and Obama have not even been charged with the capital war crimes that they are brazenly guilty of, namely aiding and abetting an aggressive war, not to mention scores of violations of the Geneva Conventions. Hitler lost his war. Bush/Obama could not possibly lose theirs (in the sense of America being invaded) with its unlimited budget and population 20 times that of the countries it attacked. Oddly, Americans consider Hitler unspeakably evil, and the American presidents 100% blameless even though in many respects the American crimes are more serious. Like a fungus, patriotism rots and deforms the mind
