What a load of B.S.! It was never about Saddam or how many people he killed, Bush and his thugs would care less. I bet you that if Saddam had not invaded Kuwait and thumbed his nose at Bush Sr. the U.S. would not have invaded. It was about control, power, Empire. Saddam was an Imperial proxy gone rogue and he needed to be reign in.

I mean if it is about taking down murdering tyrants why not go after the DPK and Kim? Or take on the Communist Party in China? Nope, them no good, to strong, to risky. Saddam regime was a push over, ready for the picking. Not to mention all the people tortured, murdered and expelled after Saddam went down the tubes.

So tell me, how many lives would you trade for Empire?

Was it worth it to see Americans torture other humans beings?

How many droplets of blood are need before your little white lies are no longer so white or little?

I think we (as in the rest of the civilized world) should have taken care of NK and Kim years ago, but now he is very dangerous and possibly has access to nukes and is bat shit crazy enough to use them. And yes the Communist party in China as well, but that is a WW3 situation. Plus the Chinese aren't exactly doing the crap that Saddam did (not that they are completely innocent of crimes against humanity). And yes, you stop them while they are small so you don't end up with another Hitler on you hands. I have family and friends who have voluntarily risked and given their lives for these causes.

And whether it was about removing Saddam from power for the Bush administration or not does not matter as it was something that needed to be done. Hell at least now the people there can throw shoes at a foreign leader, that guy would have been tortured and murdered for throwing a shoe at one of Saddam's visiting heads of state. Not to mention there never would have been a press conference anyway because the press was 100% controlled by Saddam. The world outside is a nasty and dangerous place and sometime we just have to get our hands dirty.
