I am pressed to agree. Hitler did some bad things, but Bush has done even worse things!!!

At least Hitler knew what he was doing.

i'd say hitler, mainly because he was being INTETIONALLY evil. I hate bush, don't get me wrong. But hitler is plenty worse.

Hitler by a mile.

Even if you combine ALL the conspiracy theories and what ever else surrounding Bush he's nowhere near as bad as Hitler.

I have two words:

GODWIN'S LAW.

Please, people, at least try to justify your positions here and explain the basis of your assertion. Why do you believe Bush was 'worse' than Hitler, or vice-versa? Upon what standards are you deciding who is 'worse'? How will you deal with the vast contextual differences?

This thread shouldn't even have been made. It's Hitler by miles. There's no way Bush could ever compare to him in terms of raw evil (which I personally don't think Bush is, just more idiotic and out of touch then evil).

To even begin to compare, Bush would have to forcibly take complete and utter power in the country (Hitler did this when *someone* burned one of the major governmental buildings, letting him declare a state of emergency and grant him absolute authority at which point he declared himself ruler for life and disbanded the legislative body if I remember correctly).

He'd also have to start a war, against the entire world. That's right, not just what are more similar to peacekeeping actions in several countries, but all out war with drafts and hundreds of thousands dieing (7 million from Germany alone during the war years, not including those in the Holocaust). Then, when it was obvious that he'd lost, Bush would have to 'unish' his country for losing by forcing people to keep fighting so that any potential recovery afterwards would be long and painful.

And on top of that, there would have to be a genocide on the scale of millions. Innocent people put to death for no reason rather then you weren't liked.

Bush hasn't done any of that, and I honestly believe that he thinks what he's doing is good (even though it hurts a lot of people). Bush isn't evil, perhaps misguided, but not evil while Hitler was irredeemably vile. The two don't even compare, and to do so risks belittling what Hitler actually did, and making it easier for people to disregard things like the holocaust.

Personnaly, I don't think you can compare them. As Strop said, there are vast contextual differences!
How can you compare the leader of a totalitarian regime to the actual president of the States?

The only way you could do so would be in a hypothetical situation where Bush refused to give up power in the next year or tried to take it sooner, and because this hasn't happened and most likely won't happen, it's pretty easy to see who is the worse of the two.

Seeing as George Bush is just a figurehead that is really controlled by the rest of the American Government System, I would say that Hitler is worse.

Hitler was in charge of the force that he sent out to destroy millions of lives. No-one made him do it, he just choose to get followers to kill all of the Jews...
