Stop the press! Someone has compared Saddam to Hitler, and the war on Iraq as morally the same as the war on Nazi Germany. Check it out here.

Of course no-one has ever done this before. The Suez crisis was caused by Anthony Eden's insistence on comparing Nasser with Noel Coward ('Ooh that Nasser. He's another Mr Coward'), during the Falkands Mrs Thatcher said the UK had to take action because 'Otherwise Gerneral Galtieri -- the Liberace of South America -- might get angry'. Why didn't they think of comparing them to Hitler? Now someone has and the world will never be the same again.
