Comparisons of Saddam Hussein to Hitler may be overblown. The Iraqi dictator has not built a Middle Eastern Auschwitz -- yet. But Saddam does seem to share one Hitlerian trait identified by British historian Alan Bullock: he is "consumed ((by)) the will to power in its crudest and purest form . . . power and domination for its own sake," to be expanded without limit. If Saddam is allowed to keep part of Kuwait -- and make no mistake, that is what those advocating a "diplomatic solution" are hinting at -- he will be back to take a bite out of another victim.

"It's not a way of altering the genetic pool," says...

The U.S. leadership, said Castro, is composed of "new Nazi-fascist barbarians, blackmailers by nature, cowardly, opportunistic and calculating like their Hitlerian predecessors." The Reagan Administration, he charged, is pushing the world toward nuclear holocaust.
