I was all for making sure Saddam was a limited threat.

Just like Kerry was all for making Saddam a limited threat in 1991 by asking him nicely to pretty please give Kuwait back but not allowing the use of force?

I think the visual message Saddam's picture sends to others who aspire to being dictators is worthwhile.

"I supported this effort in Iraq without regard for the political consequences because it was the right thing to do. I still feel that way now, and today is a major step toward stabilizing Iraq and building a new democracy."

Sanctions? They hardly worked. Humanitarian aid for the Iraqi people was stolen by Saddam and his cronies.
