Are we not supposed to learn from history so as not to repeat it?<br /><br />Did Hitler kill 6 million Jews and 30 million others? Yes. How did that happen? Dare we not whisper his name?<br /><br />I believe Senator Byrd was comparing the way the leaders of the Third Reich usurped the rule of law to the way some of today's leaders are willing to usurp the rule of law to achieve their goals.<br /><br />Is it an apt comparison? Maybe, maybe not. But it is interesting and a valid point of discussion. To compare someone to Hitler or to something Hitler did is not to accuse them of atrocities.<br /><br />To compare you to President Bush is not to accuse you of being an alcohol abuser, an ineffective business man, or a shirker of military duty. It could be comparing you to a strong leader with bold vision.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-1109867207880392402005-03-03T11:26:00.000-05:002005-03-03T11:26:00.000-05:00Some alternate headlines:
