Saddam wasn't Hitler. Saddam was a very loyal ally of the USA until he pissed off Bush Sr's friends in Saudi Arabia.
Saddam asked our permission before invading Kuwait, and we said we didn't care. Then the Saudi Royal Family objected and the US had to suddenly start demonizing him to justify our change in position.
Today on FOX News they still crucify him for actions that the United States paid for.
It would have been great if Saddam had really been as effective as Hitler with respect to military victories. It would have been good news for us if he had knocked off Iran and converted them into a secular state. Now, without our dog Saddam, there is no buffer left between the goals of the USA and the goals of radical Islam. We are taking all the heat ourselves. It was much better when the fundamentalists blamed Saddam for killing clerics.. now we're going to get all the blame and hatred directed towards us, and we're going to take all the hits...
