This simply will not do. Bush is not Hitler. He is a run-of-the-mill
corrupt and vicious bourgeois politician, who will do lots of damage.
I'm sure there were some at the time who were saying that about Hitler. But
that is irrelevant. It's not a fruitful thread. Unfortunately, I could not
resist reacting to the 'after them, us' whistling (which I called
'reasoning'). Must exert more self-control in the future.
