While selling his attack on Iraq, Bush often draws an analogy with Hitler's Germany. He likens the threatposed to the world by Saddam today to the threat posed by Hitler in the mid 30s. The point that he tries tomake is that it would cost the world much more to tackle Saddam later if he is not tackled now, just as itwould have been less wasteful to stop Hitler when he just began his aggressions over Eastern Europe. While theanalogy between Saddam and Hitler may be laughable, it is instructive, though frightening, to draw an analogybetween Bush and Hitler and the threats posed by them to other nations and to world peace.
