Did you ask any veterans of the Persian Gulf War and Iraq War if they saw Saddam Hussein as no different from Adolf Hitler?

Saddam Hussein was always seen in the popular imagination as the Arab Hitler because of his acts of genocide against the Kurds and Shiites as well the invasion of Kuwait. Newspapers reinforced the narrative of Saddam Hussein as the Arab Hitler by calling the 9/11 terrorist attacks al-Qaeda's version of the Pearl Harbor attack and comparing the US Army's entry into Baghdad at the beginning of the Iraq War to the Allies' liberation of Paris in 1944.
