Not really. Hitler despised the LoN because he had the power to ignore it, having a far more ready and effective army than any other nation of the time. Saddam's a tinpot threat to nothing except the miserable inhabitants of Iraq. He's about as dangerous to the US as my granny, and she's been dead for ten years. Do think about it... Hitler fought off the rest of Europe for 6 years, and Russia and the US put together for 4 years. Saddam will be very lucky to last 6 days. Parallel? Puh-lease. Now, do you really want to work on the parallel of a nation which ignores international opinion and supra-national bodies, claims pre-emptive strike rights against other countries because of trumped-up and patently bogus "threats", is highly militarised and technologically advanced, has very close connections between heavy industry/resource combines and government...? I'd advise not. Work on some sensible arguments, like "We want to secure oil supplies until 2025 to keep inflation down and make Mr Cheney rich when he leaves office. Oh, and he's a bad man who tried to kill my daddy". You know, honest stuff we can all agree with as valid aims for the world's greatest democracy.
