COBI, Hitler was the commander of one of the finest military machines the world has ever seen. He had air superiority, superior tanks, knowledge of the territory, was just across the channel from Britian, a channel which, BTW, is swum by mere mortals on a regular basis.

He had the German industrial might, a homogeneous population which was even more conformist than this one, and a bevy of scientists and technicians.

I repeat my statement: It's apples and oranges.

go back to drilling.

In case you haven't noticed, the world has changed since the '40's.
One tatical nuclear bomb today is worth tons of tanks and thousands of men, no matter how well they're trained or equipped.
Chemical and biological weapons of today can make the dictator of the smallest underdeveloped country a threat to the whole world.
If we underestimate Sadaam Hussein's goals and abilities, we do so at our own peril.
