"The obvious analogy of the current US administration's world domination strategies are so close to those of Hitler"

Can I believe my eyes? Did anyone else read this?

I guess it just escaped my attention that managing a baseball team or holding shares in an oil company didn't benefit the manufacturers of human incineration ovens or poison gas. I also never realized that the governments we wanted to install in Afghanistan and Iraq were collaborative supporters of fascism.

I used to think the right was crazy to talk all the time about how Americans were losing their understanding of "morality," but after talking to Iraqi expatriates whose relatives no longer have to worry about winding up at the hands of a professionally-employed rapist on the government payroll or worse, winding up in a mass grave, and then hearing this poster, I think they could be on to something.

John Buchanan can publish whatever he wants, that's fine, but visiting the sins onto the great-grandson as a way to make one's subjective worldview even more politically palatable is terrible.
Also, having an economic foreign policy "strategy" is no more Hitlerian than the fact that George W. Bush occasionally wears boots. Yep, that's it - it's about the boots. Hitler wore cowboy boots too, come to think of it.
