Germany's puppet government in France was no more legitimate than Saddam's government when he took power & "cleansed" the existing leadership by personally slaughtering many of them himself. In the end both French & Iraqi citizens were liberated from corrupt & horrifically brutal regimes. Liberation was the point of contention in my reply FWIW. In any event, there are too many similarities between Saddam's reign & Hitler's regin to dismiss all comparisons. "I think the war crimes angle and/or crimes against humanity was the strongest case to be made against Saddam, but we did not take the time to make such a case." Actually, this was a consistent subtext to the other legitimate reasons to remove Saddam from power. Senior officials & President Bush mentioned the humanitarian crisis quite frequently & presented compelling evidence of such. Unfortunately, the UN & most of the so called civilized world would have been even more vehemently against removing Saddam from power if war crimes angle and/or crimes against humanity was our stated position.
