While there is a modicum of truth in that, the Allied nations did
not as policy commit the atrocities of the Axis powers.

The frequency with which you and others fall victim to Godwin's law
when talking about the current administration reveals complete moral
and intellectual bankruptcy.


Well, godwin's law is susppended when you're actually talking about a
tinpot little dictator.

In that event, it is not suspended here.


Well, onl technically. Geroge W Bush isn't bright enough to stand still
long enough tot be a doorstop, never mind a dicatator.



In some future forum, it;s not hard to see Godwin's law revised to
include any mention of the current administration (and it's lost boys
like Rumsfeld)


Bertie

If that ever happens, Godwin's law would be revised to say that the
probability of someone being compared to a Nazi at the beginning of
any thread is approaching one.

Yeh, Ok..

Yes, but Bill has been out of office for some time now so it is time to
let it go.

Care to get specific there?


Or are you just one of the anal retentive types that equates oral sex with
attempted genocide?



Bertie

How about his inaction in Rwanda and his arming the Kosovo Liberation Army,
a group that was founded Osama Bin Laden?

Let's face it, this administration does not have a corner on poor decisions,
we have that problem for a very long time.

Quite honestly, I have neither time nor patience to deal with ignorant
loons who insist on spouting the vile obscenity that the US is like
Nazi Germany -- and then they insist that this is patriotism. These
people are extremely dishonest or abysmally ignorant of what Nazi
Germany was really like -- probably both. The very fact that they are
free to compare the US to Nazi Germany ought to prove them wrong. If
they had tried publicly saying that kind of stuff in Nazi Germany they
would have found out the true meaning of Himmler's "night and fog"
order.

Frankly, if declaring "Bush is a Nazi" and equating waterboarding with
flaying a man alive are all that the Democrats have to offer on
national security, they will lose the next election by a resounding
margin, and deservedly so. They will probably blame it on the public,
saying that people were not ready for a woman President or some such
tripe. It never occurs to them that name-calling is not a substitute
for policy or that treason is not a substitute for governing. They say
nothing that would have been out of character for Lord Haw Haw or Tokyo
Rose, and they act like this in time of war, giving aid and comfort to
those who would like nothing better than to kill them. FDR would never
have tolerated it.

They do not even see their own intemperance. The language they are
using was once cause for mortal duels, if not war. There are limits to
what people will tolerate, and these guys passed those limits long ago.

I see no reason to continue reading posts from people who have lost all
sense of civility. I do not have to expose myself to their obscene
assertion that the US is like Nazi Germany. It has been a long time
since they had anything worthwhile to contribute, anyway.

I started this thread to honor the memory of a man who was a genuine
hero. He did more for the good of humanity than the sum of all of his
critics will manage in their entire lives. The least I can do is invoke
Godwin's law and declare the thread closed.

I said nothing of the sort.

I said he was an idiot and I said nothing irreverant about Paul Tibbets
nor would I.



I did say that George Bush is an idiot, and he is.

I also think that the war in Irag is a criminal one, which makes him and
his buddies criminals.
in fact, Rumsfeld had best watch where he spends his next vacation, lest
he end up in the Hague.

Um, 50 years from 1941 was 1991, the GWH Bush administration, and 50
years from 1945 was 1995, the Clinton administration. Which one did
you have in mind?
