lazs2: except for the WMD thing... he did do all of those.. well... we don't know if he left when things got hot but he either never got the chance, did leave or... sacraficed civilians by staying in civilian areas.. The army never got moved into teh cities, as Pentagon analysts feared.
he did misstreat prisoners That a few of lowly underlings kicked some of POWs is deplorable, but that's pretty much all I've got from their interviews. They got medical help, food, company, detention in enclosed rooms, not open cages. that seems a better treatment that the one we give the enemy combatants.
and use his people for sheilds... By not surrendering unconditionally to US or by not giving up WMDs that failed to materialise?
If you think his people aren't glad to see him go.. you are misstaken... Sure they are. I was glad to see Clinton go. Does not mean I would have taken a rifle to hasten his departure or welcomed a foreign invasion...
If you think that the fight wouldn't have gone a lot longer and harder if any of his people would have wanted to continue his regime you are misstaken. Never said they loved him either.
we did the right thing. We will find illegal weapons and the U.S. Of course we will... Will that prove he had no intention to use them and thus presented no danger?
saddam was a very bad man and he needed to be gotten rid of... I'm glad we did it. Aren't you supposed to be a bad man because you do bad things?
Weren't you glad the last time we installed that bad man as a ruler in iraq?
Saddam key in early CIA plot We did the right thing?
