Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "The entire situation is VERY similar to what occurred just prior to World War II, when everyone recognized Hitler was a menace, but they thought they could appease him into moderation." If I recall, Hitler was appeased by the West largely when they allowed him to take over the Sudetenland. Are you saying that the history books are wrong, and Saddam is now ruling in Kuwait? Perhaps if Hitler had been stopped then, he would have been contained, and you wouldn't be comparing Saddam to Hitler. Instead, you'd be saying that we should contain Saddam the same way we did Hitler. If the Iraqi (German) people are able to put up with Saddam (Hitler), well that's one thing, but we will prevent Saddam (Hitler) from invading his neighbor Kuwait (Poland). -- Carl
