Despite these concerns, America, the world and especially the Iraqi people are a hell-of-a-lot-better-off then they were 2 months ago.
A lunatic mobster, who controlled a drug the world needed, has been removed. The fear, the death squads, the torture, the rape and the slavery have ended.
Their future may be uncertain, and some may fret and worry about this or that happening smoothly, but they cannot deny the evil, which has been replaced by America's bold foreign policy decision to take out that despicable regime.
Comparing and contrasting what was, vs. what is and or what the future becomes should always be a part of the equation.
Promoting peace and justice in Iraq first demanded Hussein's removal from power. In the next year, he would have likely killed or tortured thousands of decent Iraqi citizens had he remained in power. Perhaps hundreds of thousands would have died of starvation and disease due to his selfish greedy lust for power and control.
Those who supported leaving Saddam in power, have a lot to answer for in their conscience. They will have to live with the knowledge they supported a madman controlling millions through fear, torture and murder. |
