Take your ball and go home...fine. I haven't put any words in your mouth...nice try.
BTW..haven't disagreed with anything you said EXCEPT that 9/11 is the reason that Hussein is dead. Nothing more.

well, there's some words right there.
i think that 9/11 is what sold american citizens on going into iraq.
the reason saddam is dead is because he was building a successful and independent country in the middle east, and he wasn't following orders anymore - when kuwait and saudi arabia backed out of paying for the iran-iraq war iraq was broke, the US didn't say boo when iraq said they were going to take it out of kuwait's hide.
war, sanctions, constant bombings, and iraq is a total shambles. WMD's? good god what a farce, saddam's entire military infrastructure was boned to dust.
iraq was too strong, and had to go. they didn't follow opec's production quotas. they didn't give complete control of their petroleum reserves to western interests. they were starting to sell oil in euros ( a growing trend nowadays by the way).
not one of the actual reasons for the war involve some village this dictator destroyed 21 years before the invasion.
'hey saddam you killed all kinds of people 20+ years ago with weapons we sold you and undoubtedly some deployment cooperation and advisors recording the results because we gassed and killed our own soldiers under project shad for decades so we're going to invade your country and plunge it into chaos and 650,000+ people will die in said chaos to add to the million plus mostly from sanctions the decade before and now you'll be executed. you sure had this coming!'
-sincerely, america.
