It is a legal step towards making the US a police state.

Hitler was a leader with strong military ties and who served in the military. We attack Afghanistan first, or don't you remember?

Thank you for your conscession about teh concentration camps comparison. As for the Patriot Act vs. the the Enabling Act...does the Judicial branch have more or less power under the Patriot Act?

Watch the news.We're in this place called Iraq. It's far away, but our soldiers are there. Our soldiers have guns. Those guns are routinely aimed at the people of Iraq, called Iraqis. Those Iraqis are Arabs,as they are a member of a Semitic people originally from the Arabian peninsula and surrounding territories who speaks Arabic and who inhabits much of the Middle East. Millions have died because of bombings, political intereference, sanctions, and an invasion. How many have died total? No one knows. Roughly 1 million died because of the UN sanctions that were pushed by the US during the 90s.
