Your answer (Leave or love it) is one that shows the absolute lack of any argument against this writing.
But your comparision of Saddam and Hitler is indeed right although you forgot some points:

Both were supplied by the US with weapons against another ennemy. And anti semitism is rooted deeply in American history.

But the US is far more succesful in the annihilation of cities (Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Dresden Tokio Hue) the fighting against poor third world peasants like South East Asia or Central America and invading countries like Panama, Nicaragua, Sudan, Irak Afganistan Vietnam Cambodia, Laos) more than any other nation on the world. (All of this countries have nearly no regualar armies and not any aviation worth of speaking)

So you are the greatest invador of the world and killed since WWII more unarmed civilians than any other country.
It asks lots of courage to bomb peasants from 30.000 feet high !
