was using a book my brother was reading as a mousepad "Artful Persuasion".. it fell open on this page talking about the '91 Gulf war
"Saddam Hussein: the new Hitler,
President Bush latched onto the Hitler label...the success of the Hitler label allowed Bush to turn what was a complex crisis into a simple fight between good and evil. President Bush told Congress, "I have resolve all moral questions in my mind: this is black versus white, good versus evil"
It's amazing how many people fall for the old "this is good versus evil" but they did in 91 and they have again in '03
