Amazingly, people older than me can use analogies poorly as well...strange, that.

You are so bad, Jesse! :-)

But isn't Saddam's conquest of Kuwait just as bad as Hitler's conquest of France, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, North Africa, Western Russia, Greece, and Bulgaria? Admittedly, Saddam had been out of Kuwait for 12 years when we invaded, but remember, he gassed his own people....oh.

And, of course, there was the fact that hitler had a miltary capable of conquering Europe, while Saddam didn't have one capable on conquering Kuwait at this point...

This is a no-brainer. Hitler declared war on the United States, but Saddam did not.

Whenever anyone brings up the tired and misleading Hitler-is-Saddam analogy, just say, "Wow, I didn't know that Saddam had declared war on us. Why didn't the president mention that? And where did you get your information that Saddam had declared war?"
