It would be difficult to deny the existence (or clear repetition) of historical patterns after seeing some of the striking similarities between these two men. Are these facts merely happenstance, with no significance, or is there another kind of message embedded that some just try to intellectualize away. Listed below are some of the facts. Of course, the reader can make whatever they want of it. The question most pressing to me is: why does history repeat itself?
