So let me get this straight. You're comparing America to Germany under the Nazis, the USSR during the cold war, Iraq under Saddam's control, and finally Ham-mas, Islamic Jihad, etc. I think you left out a few, what about France under Napoleon, Italy under Mussolini, Japan under whoever there emperor was during WW2, and Russia under Stalin. But why stop there, why not the Romans under Nero, the Huns under Attila, the Greeks under Alexander,what about Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, The British under George III, Henry VIII etc. ((*)(*)(*)(*) ran out of tyrants). Why not any ruthless dictator whoever lived.

I believe that your analogies are false. I think that America is better than the examples you site. We are a country based on freedom, liberty, and democracy. When our people consent to our governments will it is really our will. In America, the people are sovereign, not some dictator. Yet in all of the examples you referred to, the people were controlled by a tyrannical government. If you honestly believe that we are no better than they, then I have wasted my time responding to you.
