We had Saddam contained. He was in his late sixties. This situation was not going to continue forever. Even though there were definitely horrendous human rights abuses during his regime, that does not make the destruction of Iraq by the United States the logical next step, and that unfortunately is what is happening now.

The world is a terrible place, with many horrible dictators. We only step in when it is in our strategic interests to do so (or a cowboy president is avenging an assassination attempt on his daddy, perhaps). There are horrible famines going on right now in Africa, and genocide in the Sudan, and we are barely helping.
