The "Hitler" card is a foolish comparison and not in the least applicable. In addition there was a few thousands years of history prior to Hitler.
Iraq has created the current problem, not the USA. Iraq choose to invade its neighbor and was in a position to invade another neighbor. It was defeated on the field of battle. It agreed to certain terms. It did not aibe by those terms. If it would have abided by the terms, there would not have been any sanctions imposed and it would have been left alone and Saddam could have merrily continued to build his palaces with his oil wealth (Oh he did that anyhow at the suffering of his people). As it is he chose to make himself an enemy of the USA and the fact that his country is in the midst of the enemies of the USA it is stratigic forward thinking on the part of the USA to remove him from power and attempt to create a democratic republic which will insure that we are militarily positioned, for many years to come, to deal with our enemies in that region of the world.
