Another piece falls into place

It's become a time-honored ritual of American warfare. Before we go to war, the foreign policy establishment and our press corps suddenly realize we're confronting another Adolf Hitler! Remember how Saddam was the baddest, awfulest dictator there ever was, at least as bad as Hitler?

Gee, what a surprise to see this. The Demagogue Neocons Love to Hate by Jim Lobe Inter Press Service 01/24/06:

[Iranian presidentMahmoud] Ahmadinejad "has cast himself as Adolf Hitler reincarnated", according to one of the Wall Street Journal's regular columnists, George Melloan, while others, including Sen. John McCain, have suggested that the current moment is equivalent to Europe in the 1930s.
In the neocon world view, it's always 1938. And the appeasing democracies are always on the verge of being overwhelmed by Hitler Germany.

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."
