People are missing this gem from ol' Herta (former Justice Minister) Daeubler-Gmelin:

Auch die britische Regierungschefin Maggie Thatcher habe 1982 einen Krieg um die Falkland-Inseln (Malvinas) geführt, um die Wahlchancen ihrer Tory-Partei zu verbessern.

Translation:
The British Prime Minister Maggie Thatcher also conducted a war in 1982 over the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), in order to improve the electoral chances for her Tory Party.

So, Herta compared Thachter to Hitler too!

I wonder if she'll compare Chancellor Schroeder to Hitler, since he participated in the Afghan campaign, Kosovo and Bosnia?

As Hitler rose to power, his political and military ascent was aided by the unwillingness of those who understood the rising danger he represented to speak out without fear of retribution.
I have been listening to the political response to Herta Däubler-Gmelin’s comments comparing the tactics of the Bush Regime to those used by Hitler. My sadness turns into horror as I realize that the tightening noose of political thought control originating in the US White house, is now strangling freedom of expression, silencing not just American dissent against this insane march toward a new “oil war” —but silencing European dissent as well.
Ugly truths are frightening. That is why they must be faced with even greater strength and courage, to overcome that fear.
King George Bush II usurped the throne --formerly known as the democratically elected Presidency of the United States-- in a rigged election presided over by his brother. That juggernaut was then consolidated in a judicial coup that placed an undemocratically elected “official” in the White House. King George’s open contempt for the temperance and council of the international community and the UN is a just another reflection of his contempt for the US Congress, the American people and the democratic process as a whole, either here or abroad.
As the creator of CIA, Al Quida, the Taliban, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussain, the Shah of Iran, and virtually the whole parade of fascists and dictators who have been the scourge against justice and freedom in the past century, the US government –without the knowing consent of the American people-- has covertly been the principle exporter and proponent of terror and military murder all over the world. Now that terror has reached a new a dazzling height as it consolidates its grasp on the world community, in one of the most viscous and unbridled power plays ever achieved in modern times, as the Bush Regime tramples on democracy in it’s arrogant march toward World War IV.
(Why WW4? Because World War III has been so well managed and covertly achieved, spanning the most deadly decades in human history theses past thirty years, that most people are scarcely aware that it has even come and gone. European and American people that is. Ask the people in Africa or South America, or Asia; that is where World War III has been waged…)
With a covert and insidious process of deceit and manipulation, Hitler’s operatives set fire to the Reichstag. Similarly, “former” KGB agent Putin’s operatives set fire to the apartment houses, frightening more Russians to vote for him. And last but not least, with fear mongering justifications, the Bush Regime uses the attacks on the World trade center and the Pentagon (which to this day remain quite suspicious and uninvestigated) to launch “a war against terrorism,” (AKA: a war of terrorism) against any nation on earth that harbors “terrorists,” in an open ended new “cold war” with shadowy enemies lurking everywhere and –much to Resident Bush’s delight—no end in sight.
When Minister of Justice Herta Däubler-Gmelin had the courage to speak up, I felt a glimmer of hope. Now I realize that the danger is growing stronger and stronger by the day.
In the defense of liberty and justice for all the peoples of the world, let us not mince our word to placate tyrants and war mongers. I and millions of dissenting Americans, silenced by our corporate media owned by military conglomerates, see through the transparent façade with which the Bush Regime smiles out at the world, mouthing the platitudes of democracy, even as they devour democracy alive.
George Orwell had it right after all --he just got the year a few decades off: “War is Peace.” Isn’t that what King George Bush II says? We must wage war to attain peace. Beware the wolf in sheep’s clothing, lest you invite him into your house, and wake up to find all that you love and hold most dear, nestled in the distended bowels of his ravenous belly.

Bush simplifies the conflict as a conflict between good and evil. This is a story told like in a movie for a small child, but in the real world there is no good and evil, there is no black and white, the world exists in different shades of gray.

This has become especially obvious when Germany, France and Russia with many European countries following declared that prior to a military solution all peaceful methods to solve the conflict potential should be exploited.
