Iraq president says instability could yield 'Iraqi Hitler'
By Reuters

Iraqi President Ghazi Yawar said in remarks published on Monday that long-term instability in his country could give birth to an "Iraqi Hitler" if citizens continued to feel humiliated and despondent.
Daily bombings and kidnappings have plagued Iraq since last year's U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein and the relentless Sunni-led insurgency has crippled reconstruction and development projects in the country.

"This could in the long term create an environment in which an Iraqi Hitler could emerge like the one created by the defeat of Germany and the humiliation of Germans in World War I,"Yawar told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.

wouldn't life under the sanctions be a better comparison for Iraq? It's already spawned thousands of violent nationalists.
