I am told the Cheney-Bush team dislikes their junta being compared to the Nazis. If they ceased behaving like Nazis, no comparison would come to mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some international law specialists compare the invasion of Iraq to the 'crimes against the peace' for which Nazi leaders were indicted at Nuremberg.
Dictators are interesting, no?
I'm not comparing Bush to Adolf Hitler - because George Bush, for one thing, is not as smart as Adolf Hitler.
Baathism in Iraq equals Nazism in Germany.
Dictators must have enemies. They must have internal enemies to justify their secret police and external enemies to justify their military forces.
The United States is not, nor has ever been, anything close to a fascist country.
We tend to think about fascism in terms of the Second World War.
Fascist movements kill off their critics, literally or metaphorically, while democratic movements value, invite and even welcome criticism.
Most of the victims of Nazi aggression were before the war less well off than Germany. They should not be expected by Germany to bear, unaided, the major costs of Nazi aggression.
Fascism is not the result of dictatorship.
