QUOTE OF THE DAY

It is a peculiar American fascination to continually look for
the next
Hitler. Josef Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh and even
Saddam Hussein were all
touted at one time or another as
Hitler incarnate. Ahmadinejad is simply
the latest figure to
be contemplated for that role. Evidently, many in
Washington
simply cannot grasp the fact that Hitler was a uniquely evil

politician and that he is in fact dead. The United States -
the country
that won the Cold War and contained its
adversaries - should be able to
deter a second-rate power
with an intemperate leader.
- Ray Takeyh
