Comparisons of Bush to Hitler are way offf the mark. He's more like Kaiser Wilhelm.
Wilhelm appeared not to foresee the consequences of an Austro-Hungarian attack on Serbia, pulling France, Russia and Britain into the war. Too late he attempted to scale back German involvement: he was firmly dissuaded by the German military. (Click here to read Wilhelm's account of the events of July 1914.)Wilhelm operated as Commander in Chief of the German armed forces throughout the war. Notwithstanding this, the German military operated under its own effective control: Wilhelm was essentially a figurehead.
LATER: Incidentally, ProperWinston is a pinhead with no sense of humor.
