Column: Germany 1939; Iraq 2003

For all of you out there who are opposed to us going to war with Iraq, how would you feel if we had never entered WWII? Should we have just let Hitler take over the world and impose his Final Solution? Well, that's a good point you have there when you say that we were provoked. I can hear you saying "Hello! Pearl Harbor!" and you're right. We were provoked. However, by then it was nearly too late. You see, we should have entered that war far before Saddam Hussein had amassed such a huge base of power and conquered territory. I'm sorry; did I say "Saddam Hussein" when I meant "Adolf Hitler"? My mistake. It must be the immense number of similarities between our current situation and the situation in Europe circa 1939.
