While Bush goes on his petulant diatribes

In front of the friendly and enabling Heritage Foundation and calls everyone who opposes him (and it is about everybody) "Neville Chamberlain" let's remember who Bush is sounding like -- same era, but nobody ever uses this name:

Hideki Tojo:

He was found guilty of count 1 (waging unprovoked wars of aggression and war or wars in violation of international law), count 27 (waging war against China), count 29 (waging aggressive war against the United States), count 31 (waging aggressive war against the British Commonwealth), count 32 (waging aggressive war against the Netherlands), count 33 (waging aggressive war against Frech Indochina), and count 54 (ordering, authorizing, and permitting inhumane treatment of POWs and others). He was sentenced to death by hanging on 12 November 1948, which was carried out on 23 December 1948.

The calculus that Tojo used to bomb Pearl Harbor is the same one that Bush is using again Iran (with the exception that the U.S. was capable of kicking his country's ass -- Iran kicking our ass, not so much).

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, some of John Kennedy's advisers wanted him to order the bombing of missile sights. But at an important time in the debate his brother passed him a note reading “I now know how Tojo felt when he was planning Pearl Harbor.” That was decisive in turning JFK to negotiations.

I know that all post World War II leaders are proclaimed to be "Chamberlain" by others proclaiming themselves as "Churchill", but until Bush nobody really warmed to the idea of being Tojo.

But 9/11 changed everything I guess, including Bush's right to commit a war crime and turn the United States into December 1941's Japan.
