Saddam as Hitler? Ridiculous hyperbole by the ridiculous right. We helped create that little monster Saddam by backing him with weapons, and money during the 80’s, and now we want to claim that he is Hitler because he wouldn’t play ball by letting us build a pipeline across Iraq among other things. Saddam invaded Kuwait because he was pissed because after playing along with America by invading Iran, we refused to bail out his debt. Fascism by definition is when government and corporate forces join together for financial and political gain. Ever wonder why Hitler so quickly gained the favor of certain weapon’s manufacters after his seizure of power, or why companies in America like IBM, and others, with the backing of people like the Bushies’ granddad, loved him so much as a good business opportunity? When governments surrender to the ammoral mantra of corporations, everything is on the table, and patriotism becomes just another way to sell lies to the masses.
