He's right and you know it.

While not a pleasant ruler by any account, Saddam was no threat to any other country, apparently did not have WMDs, hence US' invasion on these grounds was completely unfounded.

There are US buddies treating their citizens quite as bad as Saddam. Do a Google search for Turkey human rights or Turkey torture. In any case, that was not the case to invade Iraq. The case was that Iraq was dangerous, that there were WMDs.

"Mass torture" or its lack thereof has no relevance whatsoever to whether or not France was right in opposing the US aggression of Iraq on the basis of it being a huge threat, because of its imaginary WMDs. It was not, and they apparently did not exist.

And now US has lifted sanctions (can they even DO that? those are UN sanctions...) although no WMDs are found yet. What a joke...
