They did not have the desire for freedom that we do. We would not make the same mistakes they did for that reason.
They were part of an inferior culture. Their culture was inferior to ours.

Then you seem to agree with me. There are cultural differences. Germans (certainly Germans of that time) did not value freedom in the way that we do.

but we need to watch ourselves and make sure our president (cough, Bush) keeps his powers to what he gave him.

I agree actually. And we have done that. The powers Bush has assumed were granted to him by Congress. And Congress could yank them back any time they felt like it.
Bush has not been overruled by the judicial branch. And the reason for that is precedent. Bush will not get away with anything that pisses off the majority of Americans. And though I know liberals don't like to hear it, the fact of the matter is that the Patriot Act and the war do not pіss off most Americans. They are giving their implicit approval (or at least tolerance) by their inaction.
