But we brought them freedom!

"IRAQI HITLER' WARNING: Yawer warned in an interview published Monday that long-term instability and violence in his country could create the conditions for an "Iraqi Hitler" to emerge.

"If the situation in Iraq will continue like this, it will create within the Iraqi people feelings of bitterness, rage and humiliation which will provide, in the long run, an appropriate environment for an Iraqi Hitler to appear similar to the German Hitler who emerged after Germany's defeat and the humiliation of the German people in World War I," Yawer was quoted as saying in the London-based Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.

Who is this Yawer character? Well, he's Ghazi al-Yawer, who just happens to be Iraq's interim president. This whole "Iraqi Hitler" business is part of his pitch to the UN for help, telling them him desperate the condidtions are in his nation right now. Even if this is hyperbole, I can't say that statements like this coming from Iraq's interim president bode that well for Bush's public lies about us giving the Iraqi people freedom.
