OSAMA IS NO HITLER OR MUSSOLINI

As a student of the second world war, I can tell you now that what we face in the so-called "war on terror" is nothing more than a political ideology of "good vs. evil".

It has nothing to do with fighting the real causes of terrorism, but trying to wield brute force against another such ideology in hopes of wiping it out.

But if the last three years has been of any guide, the use of military might has been an essential failure against the forces of terrorism itself.

So what is the Bush administration doing?

Trying to conjure up images of a war one or two generations removed in hoping that it can also be linked to the war on terror in some form or another.

And trying to put Osama in the same league as Hitler or Mussolini is beyond laughable.

Osama may be a killer, but compared to Hitler and Mussolini, he's a rank amateur in the grand scheme of things. He doesn't even rate a blip on the world's worst killers in all of history!

But that hasn't stopped Bush from trying to revise history time and again. And he's not alone in this latest PR endeavor.

Rumsfeld recently called anyone who didn't see the war that we are fighting as the same kind of appeasers whom allowed Hitler and Nazism to flourish longer than anyone thought.

In other words, he's calling out all the war's critics, liberals, and Democrats, and painting them as the same type whom kissed up to Hitler prior to the onset of World War II.

But again Osama is no Hitler.

Maybe someone should tell these two this?
