the all too facile comparisons?

1) Does "the all too facile comparisons" mean "the very shallow comparisons"?
2) Does "put out the eyes" mean "gouged out the eyes"?

Context:

Consider the all too facile comparisons that have recently been
made between George Bush and Saddam Hussein (or Osama bin
Laden, or Hitler, etc.)---in the pages of writers like Roy and Chom-
sky, in the Arab press, and in classrooms throughout the free world.
How would George Bush have prosecuted the recent war in Iraq with
perfect weapons? Would he have targeted the thousands of Iraqi
civilians who were maimed or killed by our bombs? Would he have
put out the eyes of little girls or torn the arms from their mothers?
Whether or not you admire the man's politics --- or the man---there is
no reason to think that he would have sanctioned the injury or death
of even a single innocent person. What would Saddam Hussein or
Osama bin Laden do with perfect weapons ? What would Hitler have
done? They would have used them rather differently.
