"Iraqis were better off under a totalitarian dictator whose policies killed over a million of them."

You seem to forget, TB, that we were perfectly capable of putting up with Saddam's depredations, even support them, while he served us as a useful counter to Iran. Our desire to bring him to justice was limited to the times when he tried to put a stranglehold on the Gulf, and when the land he occupied suddenly gained immense strategic and resource value to us. Saddam would have experienced the exact same fate at our hands even if he was a domestic saint and a hero to his people.

You have to learn the difference between a reason and an excuse.
Especially when it is obvious everyone else has, including a majority of your own countrymen.
