Where is the outcry?
 
And, more torture is going on now than when Saddam was in power.

Good point. Perhaps it would be better to let Saddam
run the country again. He could start by killing several
hundred thousand people to regain control, and kill
maybe as few as 10,000 a year to maintain order.

Perhaps the cure is worse than the disease. In perspective, since 1970,
all of terrorism victims, worldwide, are less than 35,000. Oh, and
we have lost more Americans fighting terrorism since 9/11, than we lost on
9/11.

A better point... we had no business attacking Iraq, while pretending that
they had WMDs.

Maybe if you'd left things alone then he wouldn't need such methods.

What was the reason for the invasion again...you seem to have become
lost in the Bushmire.

Hey maybe if you didn't install him in the first place.

Have you ever actually read anything about Saddam?

This is lower than under Saddam. However, I see your point
he probably would have killed about the same number of people
or perhaps 2-3 times more during the same time frame. We might
have been better off leaving him in power and letting him
continue to kill his people.

You can be either for or against genocide. And the other option,
yours, is to ignore it.

Stalin is proof that this sort of government is stable as long as
people are kept in fear.

I guess we're for it. We're not invading Darfur.

I think the American public would still be supportive of the war if those
were the reasons. I know I would. I don't like being lied to. Not sure if
you saw it, but one of the exerpts from Woodwards book has Bush and one of
his friends joking about "doing" Iran next, and then joking about Cuba being
next. I don't see how any of this is funny. People dying isn't funny.

It would have been wonderful if the reason Bush gave for invading Iraq
was humanitarian.....at least he'd have an excuse...
