Gareth will hate me for this, but I must point this out. All of the horrible things you accuse Saddam of doing are things we have done in our history, too:

1/Unlike Saddam Hussain I do not boast about my ability to manufacture the same.

The US certainly has boasted about our Nuclear arms capability, in WWII and the cold war, and continue to use our nuclear capability to maintain our position of power in the world. Yet we consider it morally outrageous when another country tries to do what we have done.

2/. Unlike Saddam Hussain I have not used chemical Weapons against other Countries and my own disidents.

The US almost certainly used biological weapons (intentionally spread disease) to wipe out some of the Native American population. We have used vastly overpowered weapons against dissidents in places like Waco and West Philadelphia (the police flattened more than a square block because an African-American separatisst group occupied a single house in the 1980s).

3/. Unlike Saddam Hussain I have not invaded my neighbours.

Well, unless we include Mexico, from which we grabbed much of our land. And all the Indian territories, which used to be sovereign neighbors but now are part of the US because we slaughtered all their people and took their land by force. Yeah, Gareth, except for those, none of the many, many countries we have invaded have been neighbors.

4/. Unlike Saddam Hussain I have not excluded any independant inspectors, nor have I harried or harased any
independant inspectors when I was forced to admit them.

Uh, what do you mean by "independent inspectors?" Do you mean UN inspectors? Are you really one of those people that George Bush convinced that Saddam Hussein excluded the inspectors? The inspectors were allowed in, and mostly were not harried or harrassed. They were to some extent given a runaround on occasion. I know; let's invade their country and kill civilians in retaliation for a slow bureaucracy!

In any case, we are in violation of UN resolutions. Guess what? Nobody cares because we're so powerful! But let countries we don't like violate them, and they must comply or be invaded.

This is one reason why the world thinks American democracy isn't all it's cracked up to be. We're smug and self-righteous and act superior because we stopped doing certain unsavory things fifty years ago and other countries only stopped doing them twenty years ago.
