What really has been acheived by eliminating Sadam? Is Iraq and the world a better place now? Have any countries learnt any lessons?
I am optimistic and feel there may be minor battles for show of power between countries but the human race can not afford another world war and there wont be one. (No thanks to UNO on this front - I don't mean to take anything away from the great relief work it is doing in many under developed countries but it really has not solved any international political problems) But if there happens to be a world war soon (Bush in my opinion is spoiling for one) and (in the unlikely scenario) if USA loses will then Bush be called another Hitler or worse?

No similarities man, Hitler have some policies and he fought for Nazism. But do you think USA has any such ideas, they just want to show the world that they are the superior power!, controller of UN, with a support from UK (name sake).

Really the cause behind the war was amazing. Look into world economy, 60% of oil wells in Gulf is managed by US based companies and remember a war in gulf will increase the oil price and directly & indirectly US is benefited.

Next coming to ammuniation, they sell their old arms to the NATO countries and they renew their arms at the cost of other nations.

and lot more.

Dude above, if you're trying to soft-pedal the illegal, immoral and inhuman farce which is summed up by that one word "Guantanamo" (I'm assuming "Gitmo" to be your cute little euphemism) then I have to remind you that your audience isn't solely made up of Americans. Do you actually have any idea what some of those people were doing when they were picked up? I can't say I know many stories, but those I have heard are of those who were not near any "war zone", were not in any "training camps", but in many cases simply happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm sure the Geneva Conventions say something about humane treatment of POWs - though nothing I imagine about the made up category of "enemy combatants" which is basically used to round up anyone who might have looked at an American funny. And isn't it just a tad embarrassing that after the years of torture, abuse and deprivation that these people have been subjected to, the US Military has had to admit they've learned basically nothing from their captives in terms of intelligence? That's right, these people, even if they were part of any "terrorist organisation" didn't know anything!

Comparing Bush to Hitler may be a little over the top, but it's got you lot talking, hasn't it? Seriously, he's a dangerous little man and he HAS brought about the deaths of thousands of civilians, as surely as if he pulled the trigger or dropped the bombs himself.

Edit: Paddy sweetheart, did you actually use the term "Gitmo" or refer to any of the other things of which I spoke? No, so you'll see I was actually addressing the gimp above you. Don't get me wrong, you're obviously deranged also, but I wasn't taking particular aim at you on this occasion. Which particular part of what I said did you take exception to?

What an absolutely stupid question this is. You might as well compare Martin Luther King to Hitler, how do you like that one sunshine ? after all both of them had a dream, so in my opinion, No Hitler is nothing like bush, Hitler is more of a German Martin Luther King for his people. As for all that bilge about Bush being a Nazi from some idiot in Uruguay the biggest load of garbage I have ever read in ages. And ANI what on earth are you taking or smoking ? ANI just for your information YES Hitler did TARGET France to get revenge, which is why he even used the SAME railway car to sign their surrender which was used for the surrender of the Germans after WW1. Honestly people learn your history better before spouting such garbage. As for the original asker, smartobees, you need to go back to school and learn some real history and stop inventing it. And one final point, we are already in the middle of WORLD WAR 3 and Bush was not spoiling for it, the people who flew into the twin towers were spoiling for it.

To the "Dude" below, do yourself a favour sunshine and grow up.

Smartobees, what do you mean stand and talk, what exactly did you not understand in what I said.

To Ani, Hitler invaded neutral countries and countries that were clearly weaker, he set up puppet administrations and systematically killed all the Jews he could round up. He was intelligent and evil. Bush on the other hand, is neither intelligent nor evil, so a comparison can not be made. His motivation for occupying Iraq after Hussein was captured defied logic, and he seemed to be the only one who did not predict that the situation would become worse, as it has.
But he is not Hitler.

The question is idiotic.

Hitler took over country after country to build a new German empire, with him as sole leader. He built a program where only the most German of Germans would be allowed rights. He systematically rounded up "undesireables", put them in camps, and used the most efficient methods of killing them. Civilian populations were targeted with totally indiscriminate weapons such as the V-1 and V-2. Hitler concolidated all power to his office. Hitler answered to no one. In the end, he was leader for life.

The US military, under the command of Pres. Bush, follows the Geneva Conventions. Those who do not are placed on trial, and some are found guilty. We are fighting an enemy that not only hasn't signed the Geneva Convention, but uses civilians as cover, and treats them as targets. Iraq is NOT a US territory, nor will it ever be. The US is not rounding up groups of people and placing them in any camps, much less killing them. "What about the people in Gitmo?" Oh, you mean the people captured on the battlefield or captured during raids on terror camps that back in the day would have been called "POWs?" This country is NOT going to mosques and arresting Muslims for being Muslims.

People who compare Pres. Bush to Adolf Hitler at best only show their own ignorance of history. At worst, they demean and belittle what happened to the victims of Hitler and attempt to diminish the true horror of what happened by saying, "It's not that bad. It's nothing that Bush hasn't done."

Hitler came with a different agenda.Most people outside of the decision room, know very little about the present plan. From Hitlers moves, we can plan ahead and be watchful.That ability to be watchful may very well decide the fate of a plan. just an opinion.

If there is another World War then it will be over before the troops get in the planes and we'll all be dead in a couple of months.

I don't think many people will care about politics or right and wrong!

Won't be one; Bush is no dictator, and in no one's imagination has he done anything that even pretends to be the damage Hitler did to populations.

The analogy is just pointless
