8166: You seem to forget that we did not enter WW2 to take out Hitler. Although Roosevelt (Democrat) wanted to get in earlier to remove Hitler, he was blocked by the isolationists headed by, you guessed it, the Republicans. For that reason, we did not enter until Japan attacked us. We then declared war against Japan on December 8, 1941 and after that (due to treaty), Germany declared war against us on Dec 11, 1941. We did not declare war first against them. Don't even try to compare this to Hitler's Germany. (a) More Iraqis are dying every day now than during the Saddam years (a fact, Google it for yourself and use a bit of math); (b) as the present low-grade civil war in Iraq intensifies, who knows what sort of murderous regime will result in the end. The comparison to Hitler just affirms lack of touch with reality as well as general ignorance of the history you tout as proving your point.

Glad to know that the Shi'ites (formerly known as "Shits" or "bad Arabs" are now the good guys and the Sunnis are the "bad Arabs." Gets confusing but at least Bill "Adulterer" O'Reilly and Rush "Druggie" Limbaugh are there to straighten it out for us.
