Syria's Assad and regime DESERVE everything they're about to get from the U.S. And the West

57. Have you studied the Holocaust or history of Nazi Germany much? If so, you'd understand

why the comparison is so odious. After the Wannsee Conference in early 1942, the Nazi regime began to devote the entire German state apparatus and resources to the systematic genocide of Europe's Jews. This "Final Solution" (or 'endlosung') led to such absurdities as the diversion of badly needed locomotives and rolling stock needed to reinforce the German Army on the Eastern Front to transhipping Jews from various points within the Axis sphere of occupation to the killing centers of Poland. There is nothing the Assad regime has done or even allegedly done that even comes close.

Has nothing to do with skin color or ethnicity. Has everything to do with the singular nature of the Holocaust in human history. Nothing else remotely comes close, although certain developments pre-figure it (like the concentration camps the Brits developed during the First and Second Boer Wars or, arguably, Stalin's collectivization program and the resulting famines in Ukraine during the 30s).

It cheapens the sacrifice and loss of the victims of the Holocaust to compare the victims of an internal civil war to them.
