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.

If I didn't know better, I would think that Ray works directly for the administration and this Hitler/Saddam comparison is a smokescreen intended to keep us from seeing the true picture. Yes, paranoia is a terrible disease. <g>

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.


What's interesting about Saddam is that unlike Hitler, he inflates the numbers of people he's kills in order to look more impressive. In fact so does Iran.........that's how the initial death toll in the Iraq/Iran war was thought to be well over 1 million. It was only after a closer look did people begin to realize that the numbers of deaths was nowhere near that figure.....in fact, less than 500k was more likely.

No question Saddam is a slimeball but evil in the way a Hitler or an OBL is evil.....now way! At least I don't see it.
