[QUOTE=Sasasing;19258927][img]http://timesonline.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/07/05/ahmadinejad_the_movie.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] not a chance contrary to popular belief Iran's public has a huge reformist group that's been pretty dominant in politics for the past decade, the previous president to ahmedinejad was a big reformist pushing forth a very left agenda that would help out civil rights etc, but then two groups got in his way: The Guardian Council and the Assembly of Experts. The two groups are the ones who dictate what presidential candidates get on the ballot and the other is a group that elects the Ayatollah (the actual person in power, the spiritual leader) of course these two groups side with the ayatollah and he's just like "fuck reform I want ahmedinejad in power" so that's what happened once those two groups are eliminated and the ayatollah ceases to be a powerful figure and the country develops a good PR system, they'll be fine iran is probably one of the luckiest possible democracies out there right now, the whole world is looking and we see all of the protests, and the government can't do much to quell the protests because if they do we will give them immense amounts of flak for it
If another "Hitler" did rise to power and try to take over other counties, Then the countries that do have nuclear power most likely wouldn't want to lose and would resort to using it. If somebody decided to invade Russia, US, Or even china and they were the the point where it was obvious they would win... Then those countries would most likely pull a "fuck you" and nuke the invaders.
[QUOTE=Kougar;19258953]But no, people are too contradicting to one another to fully create a united legion like the Nazis had. The only reason why they arose to so much power is because the people were oblivious to what he was going to do, but still followed him and gave him support.[/QUOTE] eh not at first hitler pretty much used the jews as a scapegoat and pushed a racial agenda, and essentially uprooted the moral values of the entirety of Germany to better suit his needs
[QUOTE=Led Zeppelin;19258947]But a nutjob with a nuke is far different from a ideologically motivated, ultranationalist leader with a massive army and a totalitarian government behind him. That goes for Ahmadinejad too. Sure he hates the Jews, but in terms of real power both domestically and internationally, he has next to nothing compared to what Hitler had.[/QUOTE] Ahmadi- whoever is ideologically motivated, ultranationalist leader with a totalitarian government behind him. Fighting a bit of Jihad really isn't going to be "a piece of cake" if it all winds up to that.
There will never be another Hitler, because by my calculations. :ese::hitler: :ms:
nah mate i'd smash him.
the bad spelling ratings are giving me quite a tickle
There is so much more connectivity today and information is so much more readily available. The beginning of a holocaust could show itself, but I doubt it would get very far before the people of the world did something about it. Then again, I'm an optimist and the world looks a little more like Brave New World every day. [i]:sigh[/i]
It can happen again quite easily, but I doubt the stuff they will do will get very far.

[QUOTE=Sparkwire;19258928]Also depends on what the new "hitler" does. [editline]09:22PM[/editline] I see that secret middle finger you asshole >:C[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/15evbyb.png[/IMG]
Wait fuck, this has something to do with Iran? Disregard the first post. Disagrees all the way.
Korea!
I hope not..
I don't think we are talking about another guy who will start another Holocaust etc. Just someone who can rise up and have as much power as him.
[QUOTE=cathal6606;19259336]Korea![/QUOTE] I don't really think one of the U.S.'s trusted allies are going to be the location of a new risen Hitler. You must mean [b]North[/b] Korea, but then again, I already proved that wrong. Rated late.
Putin is pretty far from Hitler.
[QUOTE=Led Zeppelin;19258853]Not at all. Iraq today isn't even as developed as Germany was post-WWI. Not to mention the fact that they are being occupied by foreign troops at the moment.[/QUOTE] The holocaust was nothing new, even before WWII you had leaders who would destroy entire cultures and peoples. Look at the discovery of the New World when the Europeans came to the Americas. Millions of people of aboriginal backgrounds were killed or died of disease brought over by the Europeans. Even today, what we see occurring in Africa, where tribes are still fighting each other. The massacre in Rwanda that left 800,000 Tutsi dead over the course of a summer in 1994. So, could a holocaust happen again? It already is.
it could happen, i doubt it happening though. wasn't mahmoud ahmadinejad on the colbert report once?
genocide isn't some sort of crazy thing that happens every once in a while it's been happening 24/7 for the past millennium most historians argue that the holocaust wasn't an exception (ie "oh this won't ever happen again"), instead, that it was actually the natural progression of humanity, that the real exceptions are periods of peace violence is the natural way for humans it's shit, but that's what happens
[QUOTE=Aegis°;19258783]As I recall, Bush and Obama were both Hitlers.[/QUOTE] Bush wasn't far being Hitler minus the genocide, although the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis might have something to say about that. As for Obama don't get me started on him. Communist in a lambs clothing.

OP you're rather dumb for including Russia or Putin.

[QUOTE=johanz;19259637]OP you're rather dumb for including Russia or Putin.[/QUOTE] He leads a broken country that was once a global empire. He's consolidated power and now has near-total control over the media and local government. He's also a leading partner in the war on terror — much like Hitler was a bulwark against Communism — so we let him get away with a lot, particularly in Chechnya. Russia's half-assed capitalism has done nothing to curb corruption, so when the Russians have had enough humiliation and poverty, they'll follow anyone who'll promise their empire back; and unlike Hitler, Putin has a UN Security Council seat and a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons to fall back on. So there you have it. In five to ten years, when Russia starts making claims on Georgia and Uzbekistan and Ukraine and Latvia, don't say I didn't warn you.
Putin shouldn't really be on a list with dictators. Whoever rated me disagree, learn what a dictator is. Russia is democratic and is doing a much better job at it than Iran.
[QUOTE=<Drake;19258727][b]Vladimir Putin, Russia.[/b][/QUOTE] [img]http://i47.tinypic.com/s1t9a8.jpg[/img]
We don't have the technology yet to make a clone of Hitler.
