G,
Back then Hitler and Stalin could only commit genocide against folks under their control. The wild card here is that some madman could be walking the streets of any country with anthrax in his bad. That makes a tin pot dictator like saddam as dangerous as the heads of two of the most powerful countries in europe prior to ww2. On the eve of 9/11, thats what glares out at me---Osamas legions with the willingness to use any weapon and Saddam, the madman who could be their supplier. No their ideologies are different but their aims could be very similar. Osama provides or will provide Saddam with what he sees as his deterrent to what he sees as US aggression. But once out of the bottle Osama cant be controlled. So even if saddams terror deterrence worked and Osama promised Saddam non-use in that case, could his word be trusted. Answer is NO imo. mike
