A HITLER MINISERIES MEANT TO BASH BUSH

It's not just the Hitler movie - there is also a new Napoleon and a new Ceasar movie on the horizon.

Looks like the Hollyweird group is trying to establish a thought pattern - Bush is a tyrant; Bush wants to rule the world; Bush is taking over weak countries; Bush wants to be EMPEROR, etc.

But ... I also see another message - ALL OF THESE MEN FAILED. The dems/libs are salivating over Bush failing at something (he's been a big disappointment to them in that regard so far).

However, one of the problems I see with Napoleon - he was FRENCH! so I don't think that will sell. As for Ceasar, he was Roman (I don't remember my history well enough to know if he was Italian or what nationality he was), and I never really could figure out the underlying reasons why they killed him; but I'm sure today's Bush-haters wish it was that easy to get rid of Bush.

But ... I thought it was interesting this morning when Rumsfeld said that Saddam had now joined the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, etc. as failed, brutal dictators.

No, he wasn't. I think he was Corsican. The French have only been very successful militarily when a foreigner leads their army.

I think you're right - I had forgotten that. I guess I was confusing his nationality with the country he conquered. Thanks!
