This is ignorant beyond words, but what else would you expect from a moron like Bush?
There is no comparison between Hitler and some of the groups to which Bush refers. None.
Hamas (in Palestine) and Hezbollah (in Lebanon) have never threatened to conquer anyone. Although they use some nasty language towards Israel - and why not in view of Israel's ugly behavior and Israel’s constant use of ugly language? - they are not serious threats to Israel.
Hezbollah owes its origins to Israel's aggression in Lebanon. It exists to keep Israel out of Lebanese affairs. It really is that simple. Has Bush never heard that Israel occupied Southern Lebanon for 18 years? That it, Israel, has invaded Lebanon twice, killing thousands of innocents who were no serious threat to it?
Israel hates these groups because they oppose its efforts to gradually take-over the entire region and they want peace on a basis of equality, something Israel very much does not desire.
And they [the British and others] very much did talk to Hitler, talked a very great deal, and it was a good thing that they tried. But Hitler was mad with the ambition for conquest, and the talks produced nothing.
Hitler understood the strength of the United States as based on its many conquests across a continent, and in this he was right.
The conquests provided immense resources, attracted land-hungry migrants, and in the end gave America immense economies of scale.
The only distinction between America's land-grabbing history and Germany's is one of Germany’s being surrounded by heavily populated lands. But the U.S. had no qualms about attacking the Spanish, attacking the Mexicans, attacking many Indian tribes, attacking the Hawaiians, and still others.
I think few Americans appreciate how rapacious their own history has been. As late as the end of the 19th century, greedy conquest was the rule.
The entire Hawaiian people signed a petition asking the U.S. to withdraw from its take-over of the islands. They sent a delegation to Washington, and Congress would not even meet with them. If that wasn't like Germany's conquests, I don't know what is, the only difference being how comparatively weak the Hawaiian people were.
By the way, Hamas was elected in an election far cleaner than the one that put Bush in office. How can you say you want peace when you refuse to recognize them, illegally arrest elected government members (Israel has them in prison today), publicly threatens the elected government leader with assassination, try to starve the people of Gaza out, and kill hundreds of them in reprisals? Just who is it acting the most similar to Hitler?
