While I certainly do not support the Bush administration or the way in which it led us into Iraq, does Lauren Hatch (Readers' Forum, Nov. 8) honestly believe that Saddam and Bush are equally criminal?

Saddam, unlike our president, ordered the death and torture of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Iraqi civilians. That alone is proof enough to discredit her foolish analogy. While Bush is certainly leading our nation down the wrong path and is unfit to be president, I can't recall him ever ordering the mass murder of innocent Americans.
