I don't normally say things like this, but - it takes a certain special type of idiocy to see a confrontation between two freely elected leaders of liberal democracies and an ugly-mustached totalitarian dictator who wants to exterminate Jews - and decide that the _first two_ are more like Hitler.

The sign didn't say that Bush and Sharon are more like Hitler than Saddam Hussein is; it stated that there are a lot of similarities between Bush/Sharon/Blair on one side and Hitler (or more precisely: the Nazis) on the other side.
