"Those that downplay the threat of terrorism in today's world can be compared to the apologists that ignored the threat of fascism in Nazi Germany prior to World War II,"
Says Donald Rumsfeld at a speech given to the American Legion yesterday.

The Secretary of Defense terms the threat of terrorism as a "new fascism."

He also suggests that those opposing the war are appeasing the enemy.

E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post provided some analysis of Rumsfeld's "new fascism" to MSNBC.

Dionne says,

"What they're trying to say, 'Anybody who opposes our policy in Iraq is some kind of sell-out who is going to appease the enemy.'"

Dionne continues by syaing.

"What they are clearly trying to do is they are clearly trying to shift attention away from specific questions about failures in Iraq--About 'Why isn't Iraq going better?'

No one is saying any of the things that they claim their opponents are saying.

Their opponents are mostly saying, 'How did you guys make such a mess of this war?'"
