In tatters why? Because he had invaded a neighboring country and got
slapped? Not that it stopped him from collecting cash from the UN
gang, but he was also under severe sanctions.

Respectfully, I'm not comparing men, I'm comparing situations and
consequences. Churchill is certainly no Bush.  That said, Saddam could
have certainly been a Hitler - and they had a shared interest, of
sorts.
