When President Bush decided to invade Iraq, his spokesmen began comparing Saddam Hussein to Adolph Hitler, the most monstrous figure in modern history. Everybody was therefore shocked when a high German bureaucrat turned the tables by comparing Bush himself with Hitler. As to be expected, she (the bureaucrat) was forced to resign because of her extreme disrespect for an American president. However, the resemblance sticks--there are too many similarities to be ignored, some of which may be listed here.
Like Hitler, President Bush was not elected by a majority, but was forced to engage in political maneuvering in order to gain office.
Like Hitler, Bush began to curtail civil liberties in response to a well-publicized disaster, in Hitler’s case the Reichstag fire, in Bush’s case the 9-11 catastrophe.

I'll just touch on the Reichstag fire and 9/11 comparison. Firstly the Reichstag fire was highly suspicious and many (as I do), believe that Hitler ordered the burning down of the Reichstag. I don't think it was pure coincidence. 9/11 on the other hand clearly was an attack orchestrated by Al Qaeda. To me this comparison stinks to high heaven. It is almost as if the author is trying to plant the seed of a nutjob conspiracy theory such as President Bush was some how involved in the 9/11 attacks. I'm sorry this is just a joke really.
