Nope....not even close. Combine this with the fact that Iraq had electricity and running water before the USA "saved" them and you can see why terrorism is getting a boost instead of shrinking as a result. |

Saddam killed several hundred thousand Kurds just for fun. So the answer is yes. He and his sons (and probably others) went to schools and raped small children. I saw a marathon runner with scars on his legs and arms--he didn't qualify for the Olympic marathon so they made him crawl through hot tar for the last mile. There are more schools, hospitals, water treatment plants, and almost everything than there was a couple years ago. We are doing GOOD things over there. |

Yes, he did, and he was frequently killing his own people. |

Absolutely he do not. But due to misleading by the U.S.A., U.K., & Israel & their alliance, number of innocent Iranians were killed during the Iraq-Iran War and for this killing Saddam is not liable, it is U.S., U.K., & Israel & their alliance are responsible. |

NO! About 1000 a day for the last week.
Saddam is being charged with 141 deaths. He killed a lot, but no where near the kinds of numbers we are putting up the last few weeks. I guess this was Bush's plan along? |

Yeah....
I dont have an exact number but I believe so. |

Heres the story. in 1988 Hussein killed about 180,000 kurds, in 1990 he killed and tortured 20,000 Kuwaitis, in 1991 he killed another quarter million kurds. From 1990 to the time he was taken out of power his standoffish attitude toward the UN basically strangled his own country. I'd say he had to go
I have some friends from Iraq and they say the removal of Saddam needed tohappen. |

Yes and they died slowly, and horribly.
Just FYI: More people die on US higways in a year than the number of people dying in Iraq. |

I would say it will never be known, but I am leaning more towards no. The amount of people being killed a day now are up there with Stalinistic Russia. I am a former marine....so I am not Anti war (well in a sense) but I know that over a hundred a day (Iraqi) is a whole hell of a lot. God help those people, til we get the military restrictions off, we can't. |

Can anyone justify 1 death being more important than another? No. There is no correct answer in all of this. I look at it this way. Maybe there was no weapons of mass destruction but we
are there now. The man was evil so this hasn't been for nothing.
Those people were suffering. The only people freaking out now are
the ones that liked it under his reign because they were loyalists
and used to be on top and have it good. They used to have power.
They were part of his army and top members of his cabinet etc.
Now they are just like everybody else and they don't like it. If we
pull out now what kind of message would that send? All the people that have died would die in vain. All some people care
about are themselves and they don't think about the bigger picture. The president has to think about the big picture at all times. The people that complain about us complain because they
don't like to be told no. They are like children and hate discipline.
The UN makes alot of promises they don't keep so they get
walked on and when the US talks (because we have power behind what we say) they start to get upset( it reminds me of liitle kids talking to their parents) because they don't
want to do what the UN tells them and they know that the US can
and will enforce things when it comes to our country's best interests. We do what is best for us. That is how
it should be. Why can't people see all the good that has come of this? That is probably why only bad news gets reviews and no
good news is ever shown anywhere on tv.It is a small minority of
that country that is still fighting. The rest of the country is under
control. People are working and going to school and voting! |

He did use chemical weapons on the Kurds but he may have used them all 'cause america didn't find any. |

I would say Saddam killed more even though he had more time .
in his 35 or so years he managed to kill approximately
300K Iranian in the 1980-1988 war
500K Of his own people
30K Kurds with chemical weapons
This doesn't even cover the Kuwait invasion and the Gulf war response
Just that averages to about 23000 people per year
US Figures are roughly 50K divided by 3 years 16000 and some change |

Yes, and then he had weapon plans for making mass distribution of sarin gas bombs. (the bio weapon from the movie the rock) he wanted to explode these bombs with this gas over large populated areas. Die saddam die. Anyone know where they are in that trial? |

well Saddam was bad but it is even worse there now after USA decided they want there oil.
Nelson_DeVon you should go there and see all the good things you are doing.
First USA supported Saddam selling him weapons that was at same time he killed other Ircan people
To Sally i pity you being so misinformed! You know UN was right all the time . You say USA did what fit them best. thats the problem USA always done what is in there best for them howe would you feel if i come over tomorrow taking your car because it is that what i want. There are other contrys then USA . If you belive the majority in Irac have it peaceful go over there and spend a night in there shoes |
