Every dictatorial jackass in the world is not Hitler, OK? We have had scores of really awful human beings running countries over the centuries, and there is only one Hitler. Saddam Hussein wasn't Hitler. Kim Jong Un isn't Hitler. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei isn't Hitler. Vladimir Putin isn't Hitler.
OK?
No more Hitlers.
The basic position of Universal Hitler is to render all diplomacy moot. If every threat is Hitler then you can't negotiate with any adversary. In fact, both before and after Hitler, we have had great success negotiating with terrible people. We were close allies with Stalin for four years. We reached out to Mao. We installed freaking Pinochet!
Iran is a complicated country with a very complicated governmental structure. But Iranians, as a people, are not a radicalized bunch of crazy people. Yes, they support Hezbollah. But Hezbollah isn't lobbing rockets into Israel anymore, as they try and establish themselves as a political party. Yes, they support Hamas, but so do many of our putative allies.
Flipping Iran from pariah state to something closer to what Russia was before they invaded Ukraine is a laudable goal.
But if you believe that all diplomacy is Munich, you are basically saying the only solution to international crisis is war.
And that makes you kind of Hitlery...
