warrantless wiretapping

This political cartoon is to show the comparisons between Hitlers idea of a pure race and how it relates to the war on terror. The government uses a drip drop effect to slowly get people used to the idea of having their basic freedoms taken away from them. The author does this by showing the two Jewish men stating, ''but if we haven't done anything wrong, why should we worry?'' After this the cartoon shows the Nazi flag. Millions of Jews were persecuted and killed for there beliefs and now the same thing is happening all over the world just under a different regime.
The author of this cartoon doesn't show the men are Jewish until the end of the cartoon. At first glance you would think the men are Americans in America because wiretapping didn't go on in the 1940's, but then the revelation is of Jewish men in Nazi Germany. Also with this cartoon the words wrong and worry are in bold to imply common rhetoric people use on one another to justify that everything is OK.
In the early stages of the Nazi government only the gypsies and mentally challenged were killed until there were no more of them to kill. The Nazi's went on to kill the Jews and attempt to take over the world and enslave mankind. America may only be attaking people in the middle east for now, but as history has shown there isn't an end to the fighting.
