I definitely agree that Bush is a war-mongering, powerhungry, corrupt egomaniac - but Hitler-esque? Hmm. Tony Blair just seems along for the ride.

Much as I don't agree with many of the things Bush has done or the general philosophy of the present administration, his reference is extreme.

Not to mention...

Mugabe is not one with a track record that has any right to point fingers that is for certain.

Because one could conceivably file that scum Hitler under the label Evil Genius. Whereas Bush, while --- yes --- a warmongering, corrupt egomaniac, is not what I'd consider Evil, per se (but then, I don't know the man... except for his televised and much-reported-upon avatar), and especially nothing like a Genius.

Blair? Well, *somebody* has to take over Steppin Fetchit's old role, right? (Good thing Canada has the cojones the Brit leaders seem to lack.) (Says this prolly ill-informed one.)

(How much nicer for the world if the FIC ran things IRL as well as in SL, hmmm?)

(But then Prok would have to become Michael Moore, wouldn't he?)

(And me? Hee! I'd be Naomi Watts!!!)

While Bush is indeed a figurehead for a fascist regime that has taken hold of this country, that regime is far more comparable to Mussolin's corporate fascism than Hitler's.

Well on the plus side, at least his approval rating is in the toilet.

Well I think America has been slowly sliding backwards for the last 100 years. We do some really messed up things like the Battleship New Jersey firing 300 rounds at a Druze settlements in Lebanon on the 8th Feburary, 1984 and only 30 rounds hitting our enemies, with the other rounds destroying surrounding buildings and civilians. Never heard of it, look it up. It was not considered news worth at the time, but there are some articles about it. America has been a rather shady war machine for a long time. Anybody else notice how we occupy countries all over the world, not just Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't think Bush is quite Hitler yet, but we are in trouble when a Hitler does get in power. With this country many would be proud to see a country populated by people they don't understnad be destroyed and replaced with a parking lot. For those that don't think this way. All I have to say, is the most stated comment I heard in the Army was, "Why don't we just drop a nuke and turn this place into a parking lot." We don't understand our neighbors, so we try to kill them to fix them. Great. Yeah, I really feel safe with the U.S. owning nukes.

It's a shame it was Mugabe who made the comparison. He's not a very nice fellow himself by any stretch of the imagination.

You know, with the Hitler comparative and the hypocrisy, his U.N. speech could have almost been a forum post.

He just needed to blame Linden Lab for co-opting something and it would have been perfect.

Nope. It is ((Bush-Blair)*Karl Rove)/(Lindsay Lohan^2+Botox)-(South Beach Diet*Karl Rove)=Hitler

One wonders which world leaders could profitably manage a private sim (or more).

I would allow for the possibility of oil reserves and sim-wiping weapons, just for some purely theoretical fun. :)

Now that's just silly. The Lindens don't co-opt business models, driving user-run companies into the ground. GOM

In Sync is bad enough without adding Bubonic Plague to it.

How do you divide Bush by Blair? Are they variable names? Does this still hold true if Blair = 0 or are we just suppose to assume that Blair can't be equal to zero?

What an awful person to have as president in the first place. At least people are finally starting to wake up and realize what a snow job they've been given. Too bad it has cost tens of thousands of innocent lives in the process.

So, you support 'our' President who calls himself a "Christian" and doesn't follow the sixth commandment?
