Originally intended to explore the insidious nature of the George W. Bush administration, I quickly realized the pattern of actions and intent closely resembled those of another leader in history. The use of BIG LIES to achieve his goals. Subverting the law to gain his objectives. Resentment of dissension and opposition and ill treatment of protestors. Reliance on toadies who blindly and foolishly approved all his decisions. Lack of remorse for the vast carnage and human suffering he caused. The use of photo-op sessions to enhance his image as a compassionate individual while overseeing the destruction of cities and the slaughter of huge numbers of human beings. And the economic chaos he brought to his own country. In all these aspects, George W. Bush reminded me of the dictator of Germany from 1933-45 who started World War II, the greatest cataclysm in history. Adolph Hitler had set the pattern, and George W. Bush followed the Nazi playbook slavishly. The differences are obvious. Hitler was a superb orator and could arouse rabid nationalistic responses with his perfervid speeches. Bush was rather inarticulate on numerous occasions, leaving his audiences amused and puzzled. Hitler considered himself a genius in diplomatic and military affairs. Bush never showed any pretense of intellectual superiority, with good reason; his unilateral "cowboy" antics have alienated most of our allies and the rest of the world. Both were raised in Christian households-Hitler as a Catholic, Bush an Episcopalian. But neither displayed much Christian love and charity either in their lives or political careers. The differences are rather inconsequential when compared to their similarities, which is the reason for the title Little Hitler.
