Besides, Saddam Hussein really was kind of like Hitler. He really did conquer Kuwait and commit mass murder against Kurds.

One major difference is that Hitler's attempts at conquest and mass murder were in progress when the Allies went to war against him; Saddam Hussein's had ended over a decade before.

Another difference is that Hitler's program of ethnic cleansing was not cited as a cause for war at the time that the allies went to war. That happened after the war.
