I just want to know that if hitler is considered one the greatest evils world has ever seen due to the fact that he killed many innocent people in WAR then why are american forces and government not evil when they have killed so many people in Iraq and Afghanistan, and is supplying arms to israel so they can conquer palestine????????? Do give a logical reply.

Would you call German soldiers involved in the blitz evil?
If not, then why would you call american forces evil?
Or the American government, for that matter? There are evil men in the American government, but to call everyone in such a government, at all of its levels, evil, is ridiculous.
Look up congressman Ron Paul. Would you call him an evil man?

The only way I see America like Hitler is in the fact that we are continuosly trying to impose our beliefs and way of life on everyone else in the world. We are having to assimilate them into the GLOBAL GREED. Hitler and his aryan race is not unlike the US and its capitalism breeding the "Rich owner's of the planet".
It's all on your POV.

Since when did America become the hall monitor and white knight of the entire world? That's what gets me, how everyone expects us to fix every problem in the whole world. We don't have the resources to do that! Why is it always supposed to fall on the US to help every nation that needs it? I'm not saying I endorse what's happening, it's awful, but I just wonder why America is supposed to singlehandedly destroy every evil, even when it has nothing to do with us and we're struggling to fix our own problems.

What about Darfur? Notice the US hasn't done anything? It isn't economically beneficial for the US to do anything. The government knows damn well about the atrocities going on there, yet they turn a blind eye because there isn't money in it. Remember the US Gov't is just one gigantic corporation, and money is the blood of any corporation. We as us citizens with social security numbers are exactly that, NUMBERS. The US gov't has completely lost the concept of the individual and looks at its employees as a mass of sheep that it can mold into what it wants. Where is the mass media coverage of Darfur? Where is the public out cry regarding darfur? The media refuses to cover the real impact, the UN is going to send a whole 20,000 troops while the US commits tens upon tens of thousends of troops in it's INVESTMENT Iraq.
Money makes the corporation go.

That's utter rubbish. The US does not impose liberalism (what you characterize as "global greed") by force.

i think both are bad. hitler was such that the whole world knew about it. but the americans are the most dangerous. and i think it is so because they dont show that. they will not try to controllyou directly. they try to do that economically. they try to first capture the economy of the country and then they easily get control over the name of development.

american army invades other nations with the excuse of democracy and freedom in order to get steady resourse supply and free market.hitler invated other nations in belief of racial discrimination.i guess the only difference between them is the american's excuse sounds reasonable and civilised.

Hitler was an evil person versus all of the other examples you've given. The USA isn't doing the things that Hitler did just for the heck of it. The USA is doing what they belive to be right. You can't hate all of the Americans either, because not all of us agree with the war. So, are you trying to tell us that you like Hitler?

USA IS DOING WAT IT BELIEVE IS RIGHT. Does that means that america has the right to bombard and a wage a war, kill innocents in Iraq and Afghanistan. If this is the case then hitler was doing wat he thoght is right. And i dont want to tell i like hitler. I want you to realize that if hitler was wrong then america is ALSO WRONG.

There is a LARGE difference between Hitler and the American forces of which you speak. First off, as misskatonic said, Hitler didn't kill over 6 million Jews for war purposes, he got rid of them, because he simply didn't like them, and he brainwashed an entire nation to follow his lead. The deaths of these Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, and others didn't mean a thing to Hitler, rather Hitler saw this as a good thing, because he tried to turn Europe and the world into a place where there was one "pure" race, the blonde, blue-eyed Aryans. He didn't kill innocent people in war, he killed innocent people out of pure spite.
The Americans, on the other hand, are not practicing genocide on the Middle East. Do you really believe that we Americans are so inhumane as to massacre everyone in the Middle East, because we want to? Sure, we're guilty of trying to spread our democratic ways around the world, but that doesn't give us the distinction of being Hitler-like.

First of all, war is hell! Innocents will die no matter how hard you try to keep that from happening. All countries are guilty of it. I won't get into the details of Hitlers crimes because it has been explained already. The US was asked into Iraq to help get rid of Saddam, an evil dictator. And with Afghanistan, weren't we asked in because of the Kosovo stuff?
