Bush & Hitler: Iraq & Guernica

The problem starts when the oppostion in Congress led by Speaker Pelosi states that " impeachment is off the table". So the President Bush rightly concludes that he's no longer bound by ANY laws. And then things go from bad to worse in the illegal, immoral Iraq War.

The latest atrocity is Bush's military support of Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's civil war with political adversaries . In particular Bush supports al-Maliki's war with Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army. The U.S. support comes in the forms of air strikes by helicopter gunships and jets and also ground support from U.S. troops and all the state of the art killing paraphanalia that is available.

This foreign support of a civil war reminds of the obliteration of the Spanish town of Guernica. It took place on April 26,1937. General Francisco Franco called upon Hitler's Condor Legion to bomb and machine gun from the air civilians and the Basque oppostion to Franco's aggression. The air massacre killed 1700 and wounded 900 of the towns "market day" population of 10,000.

Bush can now be compared to Hitler without reservations.
