Political correctness: WWll versus the war on terror (Music video)

Can Noel Coward's take on pandering to the Germans during WWll be compared to the war on terror today where political correctness (PC) serves to mold the approach we take towards Islamic extremists?

Rhymes With Right pointed out an article from the New York Post in which the columnist referenced the Noel Coward song below.

The context for comparing the two conflicts includes statements by Lindsey Graham and Harry Reid, where the idea that limits on the First Amendment rights provided in the Constitution be considered due to the actions of a pastor in Florida. His burning of the Koran was wrong as was the mob reaction in Afghanistan in which innocent non-Muslims were slaughtered.

If one tried, a connection could potentially be made between the attitude of some towards the treatment of the Germans during WWll to the attitude of some towards the treatment of Islamic extremists in the war on terror today. More from the discussion can be found at Rhymes With Right here.
