But you appreciate that you have to understand a problem first before being able to adress it? That's why I'm generally against Hitler comparisons, as I was against Bush's "you're either with us or against us" as well as simplifying what happened now.
It misses the mark. And if we want to learn anything to prevent things like that to happen, we should bloody well understand any given problem on it's own merit.
