A bad day? I hope you didn't mean to come off as that insensitive. Over 3000 innocent people just going to work like you and I were killed that day.
Yuck.
Saddam was a wicked man that slaughtered his own people, ignored rules outlined by the UN, and was a vicious dictator in every sense of the word. Losing him as a nation's leader isn't a bad thing no matter how you look at it.

Of course it was a terrible day but the vernacular term is " having a bad day" and my point is that Saddam had nothing to do with 911, he was the scapegoat. He was a very evil ruler but that never stopped the USA from supporting him when it was convenient. They didn't care if he was a bas**rd as long as he was their bas**rd. When they couldn't control him any more it seemed convenient to put him down, just like a vicious dog. Sure I'm glad to see him gone but there have been many other bad leaders that the USA have ignored over the years as long as they cooperated with American foreign policy, which makes me and probably many others including Moslems sceptical of American motives. Bringing freedom to Iraqis is probably plan D after plan A and B and C proved inadequate. The problem with getting rid of Saddam is that he has left a political vacuum that is seemingly being replaced by even more dangerous elements.
Now if I was insensitive, I'd laugh at the American and British situation, but honestly it scares me as they havn't solved the situation in Iraq and have only provided more fuel for the extremists.
