Dachau Concentration Camp--Never Again???

With the pictures and stories continuing to flood the media regarding Cheney "the toturer's" vision for the world of Hitler like death camps that routinely torture citizens convicted of no crimes (guilty until proven innocent), and Rumsfeld's" sweep it all up" mentality, one is eerily reminded of a time some 70 years earlier at the fall of another Republic, Germany's Weimar.
Though the official reasons and circumstances appear very different on the surface most astute students of history will recognize some very simlar factors occuring then in post WWI Germany that very much now reflect where the U.S. Republic/Empire is and where it is headed. With calls of 'secret trials' and 'secret evidence' and ' secret locations' for carrying out torture one again is reminded of how the Nazis were ALLOWED by the citizens to carry out their plan because of a WILLIng and docile and lazy Sheeple population.
I provide a link below that I thought was fascinating with the comments and pictures from Germany's Dachau facility. Let us hope America can Stop this current spread of Nazism before it inflames the world and takes us back to an era of Dachaus.

Orwell,
Yeah, the parallells then and now are eerily familiar. Including how utterly brain-dead and indifferent the majority in 3rd Reich Germany were. So the question is, is there going to be a global war before the modern nazis, the 4th reichers get their come-uppance, at some future date "in history"? Too many signs seem to be pointing in that direction, f@#$%
Arc, who is that photo of?

Arc,
Thanks. I thought it was Rasputin, but decided it wasn't cuz he's from the Russian Rev, circa 1917, not WWII? Am I "lost" in history, or am I getting war "times" confused, or is your point that all that's missing is a madman. There sure are plenty of those to go around huh.
