In 1848 Abraham Lincoln, then a U.S. Congressman, took to the floor of the United States House of Representatives at a time when America was at war with the ruthless and hostile Mexican dictator, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, to attack the president's war plans, denounce the war, and make an argument not only against that war but FOR that same dictator's fraudulent claim to Texas' sovereign territory.

And how was Santa Anna like Saddam Hussein? I know about the repression, murder, and rape of Saddam, but I am unfamiliar with any history of Santa Anna that mimics the legacy of Saddam.
