Well, considering I was actually in NYC during a lot of those protests in the run-up to the Iraq War and actually saw and heard the protestors and the signs they held, I'm going to go with my own personal experience over the wisdom of a guy who was hanging out in southern Illinois at the time. Looking back surely people see Bush as more the dunce now and Cheney as the evil puppeteer, but at the time people were putting those little moustaches on Bush's image.
Probably because Bush declared war on "Terrorism"
and then went to war with a completely unrelated 3rd party
it was a little too "sudetenland" esque of a move...
Look over there "terrorism" while I move troops over here
Removing all doubt that he was Dick Cheney's puppet
He then secured congressional support in the exact same way dictators muster support
"If you don't show your patriotism by voting for war, you are a terrorist at heart"

So basically you're both admitting that people were equating Bush to Hitler way back in 2002ish timeframe. Wasn't that what this was about, me saying people thought Bush was Hitler and you guys saying, "nah, Cheney was Hitler, Bush was just a country bumpkin"? Do I need to thank you for helping me prove you wrong?houndawg wrote:Yeah. What he said.Chizzang wrote:

Bush was equated to Hitler because he declared war on a completely irrelevant 3rd party known as Iraq
the end...
if you can logically explain why we went to war with Iraq... you win
otherwise the Sudatenland comparison stands

It would be a good comparison if our stated intention was to keep Iraq forever after annexing it to protect Americans living there.
But it is a bad comparison if you inject facts into it

But its a lot closer than the invasion of Iraq and the annexation of the Sudetenland are parallel worthy of comparison
last time I checked, it was never claimed that Iraq should become the 51st state

And yes, the Sudetenland was a bad analogy.
If he was going for a 3rd party analogy, it'd be like how many American's felt in 1941.

So what was the final history on Saddam?
He had some WMDs, but in very small amounts and mostly just talked a big game?
