Please the analogy is hopeless.
Hussein is no Hitler.

Did Husssein EVER plan world domination?
Did Hussein in the last 10 years attack any other countries?
Did Hussein EVER ask for countries to be ceeded to him?

Hussein is a two bit thug that was contained (we once stupidly supported and even gave weaopons to).
IF we wanted to do something about removing Hussein then Bush I was the person to do it. In fact I was in favor of it at the time.

12 years later or whatever it was is no time to start doing what we had a mandate to do then but do not have now.

Spare me the BS Hussein/Hitler comparisons and I will spare you the Bush/Hitler comparisons. Bush is a far far far bigger threat to peace that Hussein EVER was.

>>Al Qaeda would have attackerd and killed Americans eventially because it is our way of life and freedom they are scared of<<

now that sounds like a Bush speech ... it's plain silly. they are scared of our freedom?? c'mon!! That's BS.

They attacked us because we did something they didn't like. Now we might disagree about whether that is justified -- I don't think our support of Israel justified the 9/11 attacks or our involvement in repelling Iraq from Kuwait.

Sadam was impotent. The lies that Bush and Blair had to tell people to get them to fall in line are pretty incredible. Blair told his folks that Sadam could launch an attack on the UK within 30 minutes -- if that were true, then the attackers for Sadam would have had to be in the UK. If so, then attacking Iraq would have been worthless for protection sake. Course it wasn't true -- any more than the mention of a possible nuclear capability.

Even you have to recognize the whole thing was not about WMDs in the first place -- that is the lie they told us so they could go over there and establish a military presence -- after no WMD was found, we got the shift to "liberation" - of course that is a joke -- I think in less than 2 years, if Bush is re-elected, you will see the real reason we have troops over there and why they are not coming home.
