Saddam would not allow people to vote in free and fair elections (yes yes....there are some instances of voting irregularities, but last time I checked, I was not beaten for voting for Kerry). No check
Saddam ruled with an iron fist and stifled any semblance of a free press. No check
Saddam killed thousands of people with chemical weapons. No check
Saddam allowed his owns sons to run wild killing and raping as they pleased with no consequences. Jenna might have had a drink or three to many on occasion, but I'm still going to have to say no check.
Saddam never had to answer to another body of government. No check

As I said before, I don't like the Bush administration and I don't like their policies. I think he has done a great deal of damage. However, to actually compare Bush and Saddam simply makes us look foolish. You can be a very bad President and still not be as bad as Saddam.
