...George Bush supporting Saddam Hussein? The question sounds insane, but a number of critics charge that he is, in effect, by not helping the rebels fighting to oust the archdemon. Bush, after all, denounced the Iraqi dictator as being in some respects "worse than Hitler," organized a multinational crusade to crush his military power and repeatedly called for his overthrow. For the past four weeks, Shi'ite Muslims in the south and Kurds in the north have been trying to accomplish just that. Yet after Bush met with his top national security advisers last week, the President made it clear...
Some analysts have compared the postwar situation in 1991 with the aftermath of World War I in 1919, with the punitive peace that eventually led to the rise of Hitler and Nazism. The situation of America in 1991 might be compared in some ways with that of Britain in 1945, after World War II.

But as a member of the so-called Munich generation, which witnessed the West's failure in 1938 to nip Hitler's deadly ambitions in the bud, Mitterrand stood firmly against appeasement. Elysee Palace aides noticed a deep anger taking hold of him as he watched Saddam's cynical maneuvering, his wanton destruction and his contempt for human life...
...take it down not because I no longer believe that a little offense now will help create a better environment for future Harvard students. Unlike those who hung the Confederate flag, I myself was offended by my flag as one whose ancestors Hitler certainly would not have embraced and, indeed, would have slaughtered en mass had we been a little more accessible. I looked beyond the hurt, however, to something more important...
