Regardless of how you feel about the war
You are saying that you consider Bush to be more of a tyrant and a closer contrast to Hitler than Saddam Hussein??

No matter how much you dont like Bush how could you say something like that?
while the death of Amadou Diallo was a terrible thing it was a reminder of the corruption and racism that exists within the existing police force
That has nothing to do with the basic principles that make up the foundation of our Democratic system
THAT is what you should be thankful for
sure its not perfect
but what it comes down to
Bush is not a dictator
Saddam Hussein is
and like hitler Saddam has committed mass genocide within the country he rules
Something like that could never happen in the United States
like Churchill said
"Democracy is the worse form of government...except for all the otheres."
