It's cute, but the analogy falls a little flat.

You see, unlike Jones' mythical neighbors, Saddam has done a bit more in the past decades than give people "queer looks." And unlike Mr. Johnson and Mr. Patel, Saddam has proven to have nerve gas and other weapons of mass destruction, and has actually used them. 200,000 dead or missing Iraqis, Lindy. Not counting those who died in wars.

If "Mr. Johnson" and "Mr. Patel" had a basement full of nerve gas cannisters, about 90 bodies buried in their back yard, a wall full automatic weapons, and had gone out and burned down two other apartment buildings last year, we might be talking a slightly more accurate analogy.
