Nobody is saying Hussein was an angel. Nobody is saying he killed less people than US/UK, either.

However, that the US invasion killed less people in Iraq than some bloody dictator does not make it OK that 9,000 civilians were massacred through a needless invasion of a country that was not a threat to the world.

Yes, it wasn't a place I would like to live in. Yes, Saddam was a bad guy responsible for many deaths.

No, all that does not excuse invading a country and killing 9,000 of its civilians in the process.

If US/UK had intervened when Saddam was gassing the Kurds at the height of his homicidal best, "He kills his own people" could be a more credible excuse. As it is, years later, it just isn't.
