What gives you the right to decide what's best for another people?

What gave Saddam the right to decide what's best for them? Iraq isn't a single person or a group in automatic 100% agreement. Saddam imposed on them. Freeing them from Saddam's decisions, and letting them vote for their own government isn't deciding what's best for them and imposing it on them.

There is a process to nation building and the creation of a democracy. Bush stepped in and upset the process. Few people appreciate what's given to them. Iraq has been freed from the rule of a tyrant only to be ruled by violence. Not much of a trade off.......and that's what happens when you stick your nose in other people's business without fully understanding that business.
