Whoa

I've always found it a bit ironic that conservatives are always raising the specter of 1939 and appeasement to anyone that doesn't believe in an ultrahawkish approach to foreign policy when one considers that it was conservatives who were so adamant at keeping us from getting involved in the war earlier than we did. But the hackiness of bringing up Hitler in front of the Israeli Knesset is astounding, and it merely reinforces all the things America has come to dislike about George W. Bush: the tarring of anyone who disagrees with him as either having nefarious anti-American motives or just being sadly misguided; positions that are based largely on his juvenile macho psychology of making America "seem tough" while destroying our military and treasury and perceived power in Iraq; and, of course, his unwavering belief in the ultimate moral correctness of his views, which seems to derive solely from his holding them. Just seven months and five days. It can't come soon enough.
