Stackem, nobody is arguing if Saddam is good or bad. There are plenty of bad people on this planet.

How many people have the North Koreans killed? The government ther issues something like 25 grams of food per day to every individual. Thats hardly enough to live on. What about Darfur? Genocide has been taking place there for a couple years now. Over 800,000 people have died. The list goes on and on.

I read an article the other day that said millions of people live in modern day slavery.

The memo released confirms that this war was never about WMD, weapons inspectors or the first gulf war. If that was what this war was truly about, then the call to go to war would have happened with reluctance when all other options were exhausted, yet the green light for war was given 8 months before hand.

I'm not making this stuff up. I find it hard to justify a war based on WMD when the decision to go to war was made even before searching for them had started.

This isn't a left vs right thing. I think it's important for everyone to understand what is going on in the world. It shouldn't matter what your political affiliation is. Everyone should have the chance to analyze what has happened and why it happened. I hope everyone can take a step back and look at what is going on in the world today and justify it. If you can do that, then that's great. I unofrtunatley, can not. And that's the way I see things.
