<<Right, he was only the one who killed 300,000 people because they didn't agree with his ways.

Real nice guy!!>>

Let me ask you what is more important: To prevent the loss of of humans life or to take the "revenge" years after dead are mourned already and to score new casualties?
And let me remind you that very same people were pushing and giving support to Saddam in his war with Iran, making on the side few dollars selling weaponry to Iran who are now in the office of the US. From human point of view - isn't more urgent to help people in Darfur just by sending few fighter jets to scare the government of Sudan instead of waiting for millions to die and take the action maybe 10 or 15 years later when it suits, or just forget about it. US did the right thing in former Yugoslavia despite complexity of this region and many who till today say it was not right thing to do. But American action saved thousands of human lifes and this what was at time important. Impotent Europe was only watching from the sidelines the slaughter and United Nations had deployed peacekeepers who were not allowed even to use the arms in self defense.
The war with Iraq is dirty from the very start, there will be no lasting truce for decades to come no matter what future CEO's of America will do, it will be damaging US for decades to come. The personal freedom Americans enjoyed so much is at stake here and without that freedom of individuals might as well forget about dynamics and creativity Americans were famous for.
