"And it was right to overthrow Saddam... In fact, it was wrong NOT to overthrow him in 1991."

Can you tell me how you know this is right? Is it based on results? What if the results end up killing more people than Saddam would have, is it still right? And if it is still right, why is it right? And where does the US get the legal justification to invade countries to change their leadership? If the criteria is human rights abuses will we soon be going to Africa to install "freedom" there? Will we be going global with our "what is right" policy- or is Iraq a special case?
