LETTER:Hitler analogy applies to Saddam
September 17, 2002
In the Sept. 17 issue of the Daily, there is a political cartoon comparing George W. Bush with Adolf Hitler.
HITLER!?!
The man who forced the takeover of Austria and Czechoslovakia. The man who stormed into Poland and France. The man who waged war on Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States. The man who ordered the mass extermination of millions of Jews, gypsies, communists, etc.
Comparing the President of the United States to a man like Adolf Hitler is completely unwarranted and inappropriate.
Let us not forget that in the world today, there IS a man comparable to Adolf Hitler. A man hell-bent on conquering territory. A man who desires the persecution of people based on their religion. A man with no regard for human life.
The mans name is Saddam Hussein.
