albert, you've quoted 'history' a few times today... can you try thinking of any more realistic comparisons for Saddam besides Hitler? That's just such an absurd comparison, it ruins whatever point you're making.
Hitler was a genuine danger, to the world, and it took 4-6 years to defeat his country. Saddam is a weakened dictator in a poor and crippled country, bombed to ruination for the last 11 years, and the commonest description for what US forces are likely to see when they move in is a 'cakewalk'. He simply is not any danger to the US, unless they choose to make him so - even then, he's as dangerous as a cornered rat to an armoured man... maybe a nipped finger, and one squashed rat.

Or do you feel the need to cower from the mighty Iraqi armies? LOL. Even the Kuwaitis don't, these days.
