>You don't get it? You don't notice the fact that Germany had been ordered to disarm (just like Iraq) after its defeat; that instead of verifying the disarmament the 'League of Nations' decided that Appeasement was a better alternative (just like today's UN)? That Germany, from the earliest days after WWII had begun to figure ways of getting around the disarmament requirements (just like Saddam)? That the failure to act of the League destroyed it, just as apparently will the UN's failure to act.

You really think he's that dangerous to us? Hitler could've taken over the world. There's no way Saddam is anywhere near that, and never will be. I just can't see it.

>The fact that the objectives and methods of Hitler vs. Saddam are different is totally immaterial. It is clear that neither finds/found anything wrong with the wholesale slaughter of humans given the means and opportunity.

True, but if he's not really given the opportunity... it's still bad that he's in charge... but on the grand scale of bad things, him being in power certainly isn't among the worst.
