History will never know because unlike the second world war, the allies did something about it quickly.

In some ways yes he was. The problem with most of the answers here is everybody is looking at the obvious or engaged in Bush-Baiting. Saddam Hussein did commit genocide against many of his own people and against his enemies as well. During the Anfal campaign of 1988 he used both mustard gas and Sarin nerve gas against not only ethnic Kurds but against Iranians as well.
Would his future campaigns have sparked WW3? perhaps but this time we chose to do something about it before things got out of hand. Also unlike World War1 we stayed to make sure that following the war and in the ensuing transitional period of government radical factions would not get out of hand and take over or destabilize the new nation.
That is why we're still in Iraq now and why following World War 2 Germany was divided and Occupied by all three nations for a very long time. It wasn't until 1989 that the Berlin Wall came down and in 1990 Germany was reunified.

Dude he was already starting to be like Hitler. I dont think that he would have started ww3, but i do think that after he was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people that he already is a hitler.

Hitler had the motive and the tools and the German Tech, Saddam had the inside problems and the neighbor problems and he took the wrong decision. and also you have to take a look on German civilization that time and Iraq conditions during Saddam times!!

Potentially, I doubt it though. I think he didn't have the ability or the intelligence to wreak that much havoc without the U.S. noticing and intervening. I do believe though that he could've and would've attacked Israel at some time.

Oh, please, he was a little sadistic tinpot dictator with a piss ant army and no ability to train them and no officer corps to lead them. It was just the pusillanimous character of the rest of the Arab world that let him get away with Kuwait.

If you're truly interested in this, I read an article today that was in a similar vein but talking of Bush. Have a look if you so wish.
