"The Anti-Buddha"

While don't agree with everything this article says, it makes some interesing points and has a great title: Personal Voices: Is Bush the Anti-Buddha? It makes the only convincing argument I've read thus far of the otherwise ridiculous "Bush is Hitler" argument:
    "Thai Buddhist professor Sulak Sivaraksa likens Bush to Hitler and Stalin, arguing that his declaration of an 'Axis of Evil,' Hitler's 'Final Solution,' and Stalin's pogrom of peasants were actually similar attempts 'to perfect the world by destroying its [perceived] impurities.'"

The argument Sulak Sivaraksa makes is tenable from a Christian and paleo-conservative understanding of Man.
