Once again ... I just can't believe how far people go down that garden path when the United States or Bush are concerned. Amazing.
Starting to think Hussein wasn't that bad?
For every conspiracy that a leftist person could bring up in this there are several on the other side as well. This topic is better served without the "US alterior motives ... going in for oil", or the "UN was bought off by Hussein and was propping up a dictator" arguments that just bogg things down.
Quite likely neither is true, as often is the case.
The US thought he had weapons of mass destruction, and after 911 they were a little hesitant to just treat the Eastern half of the planet as a far off place that couldn't hurt them. That's the issue in my mind.
They had botched intelligence. They had a no real planning for a post war Iraq and deserve all the criticism in the world for both.
But to suggest a murderous dictator wasn't that bad is assinine, and a clear example of a person willing to ignore one side of the argument in order to hold on to their own.
We can have it all here people .. you can hate the US (as is the popular thing to do these days) and still hate a diseased evil man and be glad he's no longer living the high life and taking advantage of his own people.
