		<description>God Always Forgives.â€ &gt; he said never allow this to happen again! I cry because it is happening again under Fuhrer Bush and he must be stopped before he kills millions like Hitler did! 

Comment by Jay Randal 

Equally complicit in those murders were the peace-pussies like you and Chamberlain. Were it not for Churchill England would be no more. Were it not for Bush the Hitler&#039;s of the Middle East would destroy the Joooooz, Murder every Christian in Africa and be free to make good their threat to globalize Islam. 

Jay you are nothing if you are not a useful idiot.</description>

		<description>Jay,
Just as you will also treasure your talk with the priest at Dachau, I will similarly always treasure the conversation I had with an Auschwitz survivor who volunteers a few days a week at the Sydney Jewish Museum.  Her two sisters died there, and she never saw her parents again.
Another interesting place to visit is a museum in Budapest (can&#039;t recall its proper name right now), which displays the excesses of both the Fascist and Communist regimes, including torture chambers, etc.
I agree that it is unfortunate that some of our reichwing trolls here seem to have learned nothing from recent history.</description>

		<description>Lora post 204 &gt; I have been to Amsterdam, but did not get a chance to go inside the Ann Frank house, but I walked by it when it was closed! I did see the destroyed building with all the dolls nailed to the walls, rotting away in the rain &gt; they were taken away from the Jewish children sent off to the Concentration Camps to be gassed to death &gt; horrible reminder of what evil Hitler did to people! If you ever travel to Germany, then please go see Dachau Camp &gt; in many ways it is still like 1945 when the inmates were liberated! The barb wire fences are still in place with the machine gun nest towers, and imposing Administration building that now houses photos and items of life in the camp under brutal Nazi guards! The iron gate with &quot;Arbeit Macht Frei&quot; ( Work Makes Freedom)  above it still is in place and gives you chills! The crematorium that looks like a Bavarian cottage from the outside is still like it was in 1945, and the small gas chamber is still there too! The Priest who greeted tourists to tell his story of imprisonment at the camp has passed away, but I will forever remember our 3 hour chat about the camp &gt; he told me &quot;Go Always Forward, God Always Forgives.&quot; &gt; he said never allow this to happen again! I cry because it is happening again under Fuhrer Bush and he must be stopped before he kills millions like Hitler did!</description>

Good point! Remember, even Senator Ted Kennedy was on the no-fly list! It took a United States Senator 2 full weeks to clear his name. What chance does a foreign national have, not speaking the language of his captors, and subjected to torture, all without access to a lawyer.</description>

		<description>â€œWith that said I do believe that fundementalist Islam is a fascist ideology which is a true threat to all we hold dear.â€ comment by troll.

There are many who feel the same about fundamentalist Christianity. The extremes of both groups have strayed from the original message. Religion has been perverted as a source of power over others.

Comment by Briseadh na Faire 

There are many Leftist Losers that hate everything Christian and don&#039;t mind at all dragging out ancient history to make the comparison between &quot;fundamentalist&quot; Christianity and &quot;fundamentalist&quot; Islam. As for either one straying from &quot;original&quot; message, that&#039;s bull but you&#039;d actually have to study and be honest to know that. We know that ain&#039;t happening. 



It seems I have struck a chord on both sides of the isle.

&lt;b&gt;Not with me. Your analysis reeks of touchy feely Utopian UN bullshit that has never worked and has no basis in the reality of the situation we find ourselves in. &lt;/b&gt;

The real issue here is fundamental human rights. The times when we want most of all to deny those rights to an individual, or a group, are the very times we must work to insure those rights are protected.

&lt;b&gt;How can the issue be &quot;human rights&quot; when the people YOU are concerned about have only murder in their hearts? The issue is killing the enemy and destroying his will to fight. It&#039;s people like you that give him hope and a renewed vigor to go on killing, bombing and headchopping. You simply do no know what you&#039;re talking about and in fact are an enemy of peace loving people around the world. &lt;/b&gt;

It is easy to love our friends. It is hard to love our enemies, to love those who would seek to do us harm. 

&lt;b&gt;There ya go again paraphrasing that Jewish guy you really don&#039;t believe ever existed. But here&#039;s a hint, Christ never said to love the alien race of headchoppers that are attacking you and killing your children and threatening the peace and security of millions of people. To love that particular enemy only means to kill his leaders and bring the remaining population into a saving knowledge of  Jesus Christ. Love is helping your fellow man by risking your life to destroy the destroyers. No one can be said to have greater love for Iraqis and the people of the Middle East and America than our men and women who have given their life to free them from the tyranny of the Islamist terrorist. 

&quot;Blessed are the peace makers&quot;. I take that to mean that God favors our Marines who shoot the dogs who make war hiding behind women and kill children as easily as they swat a fly. When we kill enough of them there will be peace and not before.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>our Detainees in Guantanamo are there for overt or covert ACTIONS against the US troops. Simply being â€œArabâ€ or and â€œArab sympathizerâ€ did not earn their passage to Cuba. 

Your argument is full of straw, has no parrallels and is WEAK. 

Comment by mighty aphrodite

Mighty Hypocirite,
How do you know what the detainees in Guantanamo are there for overt or covert ACTIONS against the US or our troops?  Do you have some information that has yet to be made public?
I have read stories of men arrested simply for having the same or similar name as a prominent person in Al Qaeda or the Taliban.  To give a similar analogy, when I was at university, one could not simply dial the on-campus operator and ask fdr &quot;Steve Brown&quot; because there were already eight Steve Browns in the male dormitories.  
Think about it a bit, dear.  Have you considred the possibility that some innocent Muslim men with names that are the Middle East&#039;s or Afghahi&#039;s equivalent to Steve Brown are being sent to Gitmo?
To quote your own words, &quot;Your argument is full of straw, has no parrallels and is WEAK.&quot;</description>

How do you know what the detainees in Guantanamo are there for overt or covert ACTIONS against the US or our troops?  Do you have some information that has yet to be made public?<br />
I have read stories of men arrested simply for having the same or similar name as a prominent person in Al Qaeda or the Taliban.  To give a similar analogy, when I was at university, one could not simply dial the on-campus operator and ask fdr &#8220;Steve Brown&#8221; because there were already eight Steve Browns in the male dormitories.<br />
Think about it a bit, dear.  Have you considred the possibility that some innocent Muslim men with names that are the Middle East&#8217;s or Afghahi&#8217;s equivalent to Steve Brown are being sent to Gitmo?<br />
To quote your own words, &#8220;Your argument is full of straw, has no parrallels and is WEAK.&#8221;<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=487964', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>[...] Earlier this month Scalia was asked during a symposium at the University of Freiberg in Switzerland whether or not â€œdetainees have rights under the U.S. Constitution or international conventions.â€ Newsweek chronicled his comments which roused quite a stir from the students; and later mainstream media and bloggers.Â  &#8220;War is war, and it has never been the case that when you captured a combatant you have to give them a jury trial in your civil courts,&#8221; he says on a tape of the talk reviewed by Newsweek. &#8220;Give me a break.&#8221; Challenged by one audience member about whether the Gitmo detainees don&#8217;t have protections under the Geneva or human-rights conventions, Scalia shot back: &#8220;If he was captured by my army on a battlefield, that is where he belongs. I had a son on that battlefield and they were shooting at my son and I&#8217;m not about to give this man who was captured in a war a full jury trial.

		<description>Post 188 troll &gt; Getting the information about Dachau from a former inmate of that camp is â€œFirst Handâ€ facts! The Priest passed away many years ago, so I am now his voice, because he passed his knowledge onto me and asked me to never let fascism occur again! If you have been to Dachau, as you claim, then why do you defend the Bush Regime on here?

Comment by Jay Randal â€”

I have just come back from a gallery event with my husband in the time zone whrere we are currently located.  I am not entirely sober but hope to be coherent, nevertheless.  I have not visited Dachau but have been twice to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam--a very wrenching experience even the second time around.  
I have also visited Holocaust/Jewish centers in various major cities around the world.  I particularly would like to recommend the one in Sydney, Australia.  The first few floors are devoted to the history of Jews in Australia--starting with petty thieves who were sent by England to its penal colony in the South Pacific.  On the upper floors there iis information about the Holocaust, with actual survivors of the actual concentration camps, ghetttos, etc. there to tell you their stories.  Obviously these people are getting old and won&#039;t be around much longer.  Any reader here who has the opportunity to visit Sydney, I urge you to visit this museum.</description>

Ryan Neat has told you better then I could, that Bush and his cabal of criminals are acting like Nazi/Fascists! Remember that it took Hitler about 12 years to kill all the people he did, so Bush has only been in power 5+ years now! Dachau was Hitler&#039;s first Concentration Camp and GITMO is Bush&#039;s first Concentration Camp! Do we want Bush to build more of them? 

As for mighty-moron &gt; if she is a lawyer, then I would hate to be one of her clients &gt; lol. She does not seem to understand that Bush is taking away all our rights and may soon try to lock us all up in detention camps?! Take off the blinders and notice Bush is a fascist!</description>

		<description>Ryan,

There may be hope:


&lt;blockquote&gt;Thank you Briseadh na Faire for stating the issue in objective terms. 

Comment by troll â€” March 27, 2006 @ 9:38 am &lt;/blockquote&gt;



&lt;blockquote&gt;Briseadh na Faire,

Ah, a reasoned and honest critique of the situation - well done....  

Comment by Ryan Neat â€” March 27, 2006 @ 7:48 pm &lt;/blockquote&gt;


It seems I have struck a chord on both sides of the isle.

The real issue here is fundamental human rights. The times when we want most of all to deny those rights to an individual, or a group, are the very times we must work to insure those rights are protected.

It is easy to love our friends. It is hard to love our enemies, to love those who would seek to do us harm.</description>

		<description>&quot;With that said I do believe that fundementalist Islam is a fascist ideology which is a true threat to all we hold dear.&quot; comment by troll.

There are many who feel the same about fundamentalist Christianity. The extremes of both groups have strayed from the original message. Religion has been perverted as a source of power over others.

As for the borders, this just in on cnn.com:

&quot;Government investigators used fake documents to enter U.S. with radioactive material for two dirty bombs, according to report. &quot;

Until we address the root problems, we are all at risk. It is only a matter of time.

Time to make sure that life insurance policy covers &quot;war or acts of war.&quot;</description>
