The case for war was not clear. We had time on our side Maybe. Or maybe sanctions would have fallen, and Saddam would have gone shopping, and then what? And all those homebrew terrorists he was training, Uday's fedayeen, what missions would they have gone on? So I hope you're happy with the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent civilians on your conscience And the tens of thousands who died every year under Saddam, from sanction-related starvation or a bullet in the head, were you "happy" about those? How come the war dead should be on my conscience, but Saddam's victims are not on yours? At least those who died in the war or were killed by the insurgents have died for the hope of making Iraq a decent place to live where the government doesn't fill mass graves anymore. Blathering on about "protecting the innocents of Iraq" by leaving them to the tender mercies of Saddam and his sons is frankly nauseating. 400,000 dead in mass graves, over a million dead in the wars he started, 4 million exiles, a country living in fear, this is "protection"? How bad does it have to be before you understand that there can be worse fates than a war?
