Russ and Vince:
I'm pretty sure the world in 1935 didn't see Hitler as the greatest menace to mankind, as the world, post WWII, sees him. Most certainly the germans didn't at the time. You're looking at this with hindsight, rather than placing yourself in the appropriate time period.
Frankly, the lead up to where we are right now parallels so well it's pretty scary. Now obviously I doubt Bush is going to become the genocidal poster boy of the 21st century, but that doesn't mean he and his administration can't do a serious amount of damage to this country, and our interests around the globe.
Everyone always assumes that a comparison to Hitler automatically means genocide, death camps, etc. This article is comparing Hitler's political rise and maneuvering, *not* his atrocities against mankind. I had an immediate gut reaction *against* this article when I first read it, due to the fact that Hitler is historically known as "Satan Incarnate." But as I actually read it, I realized that it wasn't doing that at all.
Now Vince, you made a couple of points in your post, though not completely coherant hehe, which basically says that you disagree with some of the historical facts that the article raises. Care to elaborate?
