>>>Yes, it would've been better to leave him in power so our "allies" could keep selling him weapons<<<

Do you discount the weapons the United States helped Iraq procure?

>>>pushing for the lifting of sanctions<<<

Many children and elderly were dying for from those sanctions. Indeed, there were reasonable calls to lift them.

>>>excusing his mass murders<<<

I hear about these all the time. But what exactly are the mass murders? Can you name the specific incidents? How many were there? When and where did they happen? And how many of these were related to previous wars or attempted overthrows? Yes, he was a tryant in so many ways. But so have been so many other state leaders with whom America has done business with. Why would America find this surprising?

And did any of the incidents, which you haven't yet named, happen before America's policy of providing money for Iraq's weapons procurement?

Has American foreign policy itself, whether in South or Latin America, Africa, Asia or the MidEast ever been a contributing factor to mass murder or execution-like conditions in any of those places?

You write as if there have been no governments that America has overthrown or helped to get overthrown. Where was the murder from these? Whose was it?

>>>and denying his support for terrorism around the world.<<<

What exactly is the worldwide terrorism that Saddam has spread? Can you name a single incident? How did he do this? Are you writing this because Saddam supposedly gave money to Palestianian family members of suicide bombers, even though what he actually did was give money to ANY Palestinian family who died (no matter how) as a result of the conflict with Israel? Is this different from the America media version, as reported?

Let me ask you. Where exactly do you get your information? Is this what 'they've' (what you've been hearing in the media) been telling you? Or did you find all of this out yourself?
