    Your an idiot. You know why your an idiot? You are comparing one of the purest forms of evil to have ever walked G-d's green earth to a a country that while not allways correct, is a nation of LAWS. Lets do a quick compare shall we?

    Nazi Germany:
    Police State
    Disagree, you die and disapear
    Jew, Homosexual, Communist & more ? Die. Not just die, but die as an animal
    Started a world war of conquest with an attempt to rule the world and murder everyone that wasn't arian and didn't believe in his f'd up religion (hitler was not a christian and hated them as much as jews)

    Post 9/11 america:
    An executive branch that is trying to run rampant with power, but has already been checked by our courts (and will be out of office in a couple of years)
    A bad war in iraq, which the majority of this country no longer supports and wants our troops home and stop spending billions on rebuilding iraq.

    So you tell me that that poem applys here. Granted, I'm not the poor muslim shmuck with the same name as a bazillion terrorists and gets hassled at the airport. But at the same time to draw the same paralel is not only rediculous, it goes against the very meaning of that poem. You want to make tour bed with N Korea, Iran, Syrya, Cuba and Iran then be my fircken guest!
