I know Saddam killed many many people and was a pretty major villain but you must have better info than I do if you know he killed "100's of thousands".

Let's say you're right about that. Can you imagine how much HATRED the Kurds and Shiites must have for the Sunnis after they backed and helped Saddam commit all those mass murders?

Does that make you think that our invasion of Iraq was WISE knowing the retribution and infighting it would CAUSE? You know, our invasion suddenly meant the underdog Shiites would become the topdogs in this new democratized Iraq.

And doesn't that make you think the Sunnis might turn to Terrorism as a last resort since they no longer had any say in the country and felt they were headed toward annihilation by the new rulers?

You can keep trying to tell everybody how wonderful our invasion was for the Iraqis, the Middle East and the U.S. but I can't buy it....sorry....
