Stop.

While I am a political liberal who believes in human rights, due process, etc. I am tired of, and appalled by, the frequent comparisons of the abuses currently being committed as part of the "war on terror," and the Holocaust of Nazi Germany.

Yes, many of the Bush administration's policies and tactics (wire-tapping, show trials, holding people in prison for years without charges, etc.) are despicable and should be ended immediately, they do not and will not rise to the level of the Holocaust.

Why won't this happen? It won't happen because we still have elections (flawed as they may be), we still have freedom of speech (despite attempts to limit it), and there is still enough media not on the government payroll to expose the truth.

Let's hope so anyway...
