I am amazed by the accelerating campaign asserting equivalency between America and the most barbaric totalitarian dictatorships in the history of mankind.

An example of this is a letter by Bill Baker DiGiulio of Bowdoin, Feb. 18.

He besmirches the honor of our first Hispanic attorney general, Alberto Gonzales, by first quoting Sen. Collins’ description of him “how he grew up, worked hard and put himself through school,” then continuing, “Heinrich Himmler was a chicken farmer when he first got started, but through hard work and due diligence he became the man we know today.” Please.

The suggestion of equivalency between Alberto Gonzales and SS Chief Himmler, the architect of the Holocaust, deserves no further comment.

Mr. Baker DiGiulio then goes on to say, “This nation is now smeared with the same muck as Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia and Saddam’s Iraq.”

Having had first-hand experience with Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Communism in Soviet-occupied Germany, I can only say to Mr. Baker DiGiulio, please do some serious studying of history to know the difference between our great country and Hitler’s Germany and between Alberto Gonzales and genocidal mass murderer Heinrich Himmler.

The same people are screaming their insults against President Bush and America, declaring them Terrorist No. 1,” never seem to come around to organize protest marches in the streets against the totalitarian Islamists with their abominable beheadings, terrorism and openly proclaimed agenda “to kill all infidels, Americans and Jews.”

It is beyond comprehension.
