"Interesting, and the truth is President Bush and the American military have saved far more lives in Iraq, through the war effort, then would have been killed under Saddams hell-hole."

Estimates of 10,000 Iraqi deaths since the war began. A linear extrapolation indicates that in 10 years the number of dead would be far greater than what Saddam achieved. This "analysis" is just as irrelevant as your hell-hole remark.

"Saved them from tyranny, saved them from oppression, saved them from death, and saved them from rape and torture."

I doubt that Bush II and company have saved the Iraqi people from death, rape, oppression, and torture. These acts will continue to happen, just under a new government.

More important is the damage done to the UN, the US economy, and the viability of international law by the Bush II government. This is what most of the criticism of Bush II is about. You have chosen to avoid this facet of the problem.

Äs far as your remarks about Stalin, the US didn't become anti-Stalin in 1945 it continued its anti-communism program, witness the cold war which continued long after Stalin's death.
