Same old black and white thinking.

If I'm against one thing, why, I must be against the whole shebang!

What do I call those killed by sadaam? Victims. Why, what do you call em?
Spare me the crocodile tears for a country and people you and the right didn't give a shit about until GWB wanted to invade.

War is the only answer to tyranny? You really have bought the neocon line haven't you? Pick up a history book for Pete's sake.
Let me know when you find the part where Lech Walesa invaded Warsaw. Tell it to Gandhi and MLK.

"It is grossly innaccurate to portray the US as a heartless imperialist nation. "
I did not. Dont put words in my mouth.

"It disgusts me to hear people talk as if those supporting the war are heartless while they ignore Saddam's slaughter and act as if the loss of life under him was acceptable or somehow about to end despite all evidence to the contrary. "
Me too.
It also disgusts me to see on the one hand such sincere caring for a people that few cared about before GW2, while those same caring people dismiss all civilian casulaties as "Couldn't be helped, we're doing our best".
Of course we're doing our best in the vast majority of cases. Not every case though, and pointing this out does not necessarily make one a rabid anti-american , a peacenik, or a pisser-on-the-sidelines.

"I firmly believe lives will be saved through this war in comparison to those that would have died without it."
Your crystal ball clearer than mine.
"I also think there is a good chance Iraqies will be very much better off 10 years from now than they would have with Saddam left in power. It is almost certain that most will be at least marginally better off."
I think so too.
Cepting the dead ones of course, though they'd probably be different dead ones.
