The analogy was meant to elucidate the fact that fighting those who want to kill you in a very random-abstract manner makes far less sense than making it impossible to allow them to enter your country with the necessary parts to construct a deadly bomb.
The fact that I respond exactly to what you said, but not what you intended is hardly a sign that I don't read posts.

It's a heck of a lot easier to keep a man out of your house than to keep someone from bringing a few small parts into the country by any route whatever, land, sea, or air. Your analogy is baloney.

You remember what Hitler did. Where's the parallel?
You missed the mark by a mile.
I didn't draw a parallel between the war in Iraq and WW2, I said that by your same logic, we wouldn't have gone overseas to fight the fascists in WW2, but would simply have made the country more secure.
Did you call Saddam Hussein's regime benign?
