I am trying to understand this. sdb made a comparison between Hitler's unprovoked invasion of neighboring countries and Bush's invasion of Iraq based on false pretenses which you found to be an uncivil comparison because it might offend supporters of military interventions. Just to clarify, are supporters of Hitler offended, Dinah, because of the comparison to Bush or are Bush supporters offended here because of the comparison to Hitler?
If I were to suggest that Kenndy's involvement in the failed Bay of Pigs invation was a mistake, would that be uncivil to supporters of the invasion even if JFK himself considered it ill advised?
