Jin, you also seem to know very little about Hitler. After WWI, the German people felt worthless. Hitler was a patriotic German, he didn't like that. He felt Germany was being screwed by the Treaty of Versai (sp?), which they were. He preached nationalism, made people feel good about being a German, and that's why they followed him. To show that Germany was a great nation, he conquered other countries. He showed the Germans that they weren't worthless, or weak. The holocaust wasn't in his original intentions. He was in a world of ****, and had no way out, so he needed a scapegoat, and he happened to hate Jews.
Bush is the same way. We get hit with a terrorist attack, Bush tells us that we'll get even, and being an American is so great. Telling us it's so great to be an American, and that we'll end terrorism. Americans feel we're the best in the world and we can take on anyone. While we more or less can, we can't do it all at once, and we can't do it without the loss of hundreds of thousands of men. We have 3 countries who are close to going to war with us, but does anyone care? Of course not, cause we all believe waving our flag will solve all the problems in the world.

Umm... I knew that about Hitler. Although they are under similar circumstances, they are fighting for two completely different things.

This is only the beginning folks. Bush has 3 more years, 3 more years to screw up this country. And if our people are too stupid to understand why WWII started, they obviously won't see any corruption in our own country, not that we're the ones being brain-washed.

Why do you say that as if you were looking forward to a US downfall. Does it matter whether our leader is Al Gore, or George Bush? Either way we'd be fighting for the same thing. Freedom, Justice, Security, and most importantly for the people. George Bush has 3 years left, and although he could screw things up, he could also make things better. Also, who's to say that someone else wouldn't do the same under his circumstances. Give the guy a break. Sure he may not be the most competent leader, but he has good intentions. Hope for the best, and don't look at him just as a republican, but as the President of the United States. He is working for the beterment of this world, as Al Gore would. Why the hell should we care whether someone is a conservative, or liberal? As long as they believe is righteousness, and do everything they can to make a better world, it doesn't matter.
