"I think Hitler was smarter, and lasted longer in office."

It truly saddens me when any of my fellow Americans make any statements equating our President to Hitler. Doing so trivializes what Hitler was and what he did. He was a genocidal maniac.

Bush has an MBA, and was a fighter pilot during his military service. Those aren't achievements obtained by dumb or stupid people. Castro has been in office longer than any living leader of any country on the planet. Is that because he is popular within his country and his policies should be a model for the rest of the world to follow? In a word, no. Dictators determine their own time in office, unless or until they die.

I have no problem with folks who are opposed to the policies or decisions made by our President. In fact, there are things Bush has done that I disagree with, but it is not only easy to disagree with what he does or has done without making comparisons to Hitler, it makes one appear to have a foot to stand on when involved in any such discussions. When I see someone (anyone) equate Bush to Hitler, I see someone who is so radical in their beliefs that they aren't capable of reasonable discussion or debate. I hope you aren't serious about your statements. I really do.
