Imagine for a second what the world would have been like during the years 1939 to 1945 if the US and the UK + all other allies had of gone against Hitler in a pre-emptive manner, like Bush is against Saddam.
Think about it.
While Hitler is gaining power, stockpiling weapons, tanks, subs, planes, size of army etc, the world goes in and removes him from power. WW II isn't fought across 3 continents but on German soil ONLY. THINK of the savings in lives that would have made.
Is saddam equal to Hitler? Maybe not, but he has certainly shown Hitler-like traits over the years, and I for one am very happy that we won't ever have to find out just how far ol' Saddam would have gone with his power trip.

Oh please..... Saddam circa 2003 is in no way comparable to Hitler circa 1939. Saddam had NOTHING just a rag-tag army armed with sandals and bean bags. His country was utterly destroyed after the 1991 Gulf War and 12 years of super-punishing sancations. He was not a threat to the US or the world. What a fucking joke. The biggest media-created paper tiger in the history of the world. In 2003 Saddam could not even launch an attack against Gilligan's island and expect to win. He was completely TOOTHLESS yet the American government and media made him out to be this dangerous super-villain on the scale of Lex Luthor. The rest of the world saw through the joke. When will Americans?
