Teribus, you are correct about the way Hitler attained office (HERE). My apologies to the German electorate. The mistake was Hindenberg's. And a further mistake of Hindenberg's was when Hitler insisted on passing something very similar to the Patriot Act in order to clamp down on Communists and "enemies of the state" and he (Hindenberg) signed it. If you read the law that Hitler drafted and compare it with stipulations of the Patriot Act, the wording is spookily similar.

There is a possible comparison here. Bush is inept and easily led. Cheney, Ashcroft, Rove, Wolfowitz, Perle, Rumsfeld, and a couple of others constitute the real government of the United States.

The nice part about it is that if we get rid of Bush, we also get rid of them. At least, temporarily.
