Iran vs. Nazi Germany?

Are there paralells? Certainly. It is chilling to put together the events unfolding now in our history in the context of Iran's statements and stated ambitions toward Israel. In the current debate I keep coming back to this:

Russia says it does not believe that sanctions or military force will solve the problem. It believes that diplomacy is the answer, but has as yet failed to offer any idea as to how diplomacy will solve this crisis. Russia says that Iran should not have Nuclear weapons out of one side of its mouth, while funding nuclear research and developement and selling Iran parts to produce nuclear energy out of the other.

Iran says it will never cease producing nuclear energy or its pursuit of nuclear technolgy out of one side of its mouth while at the same time saying it is open to negotiations with the IAEA regarding its nuclear program.

It boggles the mind to think that nobody is calling either country to make a definite statement and stick to it.

More mind boggling is the relativism that says Iran's facist rulers are not so far outside the norm as to warrant the utter contempt of civilized society. We have millions of Europeans calling the United States (the very bastion of civilization in the west) a tyranical power while at the same time either accepting or ignorring Iran's candid, blatant societal tyrany and hatred toward Israel and the west. Not to mention the veiled statements it has made about Israels coming extinction at the hands of "one storm".

As I said, chilling. I don't have the answer and would not claim to but someone had better stand up and let everyone else know that we are all in a pot of hot water and it is slowly begining to boil.
