Well, lets compare for a moment.

-Hitler gained power politics.
-Bush gained power politics.

-Hitler was "givin" a Chancelorship by someone who thought he'd be weak.
-Bush won the election.

-Hitler was givin the executive power to "deal with communists."
-Bush was givin the executive power to "deal with terrorists."

-Hitler had 20,000 jews, political opponents,and communists murdered on his first day of this new power.
-Bush had a few thousand muslim and suspected terrorists put into prison without proper charages.

-Hitler advocated and preached to people's worst fears and angers. He used this propaganda to turn the already present anger of the German population against Jews, France and the Allies of WWI, and Communism.
-Bush advocated and preached to people's worst fears and angers. He used this propaganda to turn the already present anger of the American population against terrorists and anyone he says are affiliated with them.

-Hilter used a military tactic called Blitzkrieg, a form of "lightning" fast attack that used aerial bombardment, tanks, and vehicles to achieve its swiftness, destroy resistence and cause the enemy to give up hope of fighting.
-Bush is using a military tactic called Shock and Awe, a form of Blitzkrieg rip off that uses a fast attack with aerial bombardment, tanks, and vehicles to achieve its swiftness, destroy resistence and cause the enemy to give up hope of fighting.

However, if you look closely enough at those, there's plenty of differences... namely the fact that Hitler pursued to feed off of people's worst fears for conquest of ALL Europe, and constantly found scapegoats to eradicate (jews/communists).

However, the BIG difference here is while one has to keep the population at close to 50% in agreance with his actions, the other could dominate the population by impossing a military facist dictatorship and just kill off all competitors for the chancelorship/presidency.

SaddamHussein: I made a topic a lot like this a while ago... if you look through the past topics you might find it.
