How did he pick his nation up out of economic doom? By killing his political rivals and building up his infrastructure for war. Not to mention stealing the assets of the subhuman classes and ignoring a treaty which forbade them from building up for war. Yeah, that's great. Absolutely awesome. Oh yeah, at least he did that, what a mitigating factor. It sure as hell doesn't matter how you achieve economic growth, as long as you do it.

Hmmm, Bush does not imprison and ultimately in many cases kill Jews, Blacks, Gypsies, Gays, the physically disabled, the mentally infirm, Communists and political dissenters. He started a shitty war, but it's not a patch on WW2, he may have lost around 4200 American troops but look how many of the German army died in Siberia alone.

It's easy enough to whine on about Bush and what he has done, but those other three are responsible for death and oppression and suffering we can barely even comprehend - and we are seriously fucking lucky we can't. I'm sure the millions of their victims would have taken economic instability over torture and death without a second thought.

A good leader should be able to lead without the need for terrorising the populace, which is exactly how Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini ruled. Frankly it's bordering on offensive that anyone would suggest Bush is worse.

LOL. No, nothin like that. Funnily enough, I read somethiing funny today:

Adolf Lu Hitler R. Marak is a politician in the state of Meghalaya, India. It may be noted that his name is not particularly curious within Meghalaya, where other local politicians are named Lenin R. Marak, Stalin L. Nangmin, Frankenstein W. Momin, or Tony Curtis Lyngdoh. Hitler Marak told the Hindustan Times: “Maybe my parents liked the name and hence christened me Hitler… I am happy with my name, although I don’t have any dictatorial tendencies.”

No. Mostly people actually think I am joking. Once someone in a shop read it on my card at the checkout and didn't believe it was real.

Yeah, I tend to make it my first port of call for the news before I look elsewhere. They have good coverage and tend to be relatively unbiased. They're not above biased reporting but they're pretty good a lot of the time.

Well the BBC is a public corporation. It's paid for in part by the TV License anyone owning a television in the UK has to pay. It has a charter and is regulated by the BBC Trust. Although it's programming may be bought from outside sources those are still covered by the Charter.

So basically, whoever those four owners are, they don't own the BBC. I didn't realise the BBC had a significant viewership in the States.

Sounds like a great idea, I'll call the local zoo!!!

True, it would be better for everyone if Russia and the EU can follow a common agenda and avoid armed conflicts and situations like Georgia.

I remember watching Why Don't You and they had a whole segment about it. Looked fun

It's no different. Anyone who makes that assertion has no clue of the suffering those men were responsible for. I don't know if it's a sad indictment of education or what, but I simply can't understand why anyone would think that.
