I'm going to try to keep this on a peaceful and civil level. However, you make a statement which is not supportable and then you base your conclusion on the reader agreeing with the premise.

Let's start from a very basic truism.

Sadaam is a horrid dictator who has used every manner of torture to keep his power and enormous wealth. His people are largely starving, if they have managed to survive.

From there, one has to come up with a way to eliminate him and his regime for the good of his people. Why? What give us the right? Again, we have the power and the will. It's not a new theory but it's one that I wish we had promulgated earlier in our history and gone after Hitlers and Stalins and yes others.

Now, will there be bottom feeders who want oil money or want to profit? Of course! Hopefully, those who see this as a moral crusade first will minimize the corruption and greed.

Again, we and our government are not perfect. Yet, there can be no question that to compare us with what rules Iraq or to deny that the Iraqi people will benefit is really sticking one's head in a noose of ignorance.
