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.

First off its BS and a cheap shot to play off emotions by equating anything to Hitler considering most view him as the pinnacle of evil.
People can draw connections anywhere with examples like that for either side.
The situation in Iraq bears little resemblance to a WW2 Germany as does the situation domestically in america and its leaders.
