But it is a fascile comparison, unless the comparison has at least some degree of accuracy. Compare Pol Pot to Hitler? That's probably valid, Both embraced genocide with zeal in order to uses it as a tool to remake society. Like Hitler, Pol Pot targeted certain ethnic minorities and groups he perceived as a threat.

Comparing Bush to Hitler is a whole other kettle of fish. IMO, it's not terribly valid. Bush is reckless, foolish, a prime example of someone wiht Narcisstic Personality disorder; unable to empathize with others, but whether it's that he's constrained by our system, or due to other reasons, he's hardlly achieved or even vocalized the hatred so easily identified in Hitler and Pol Pot.
