Human Rights Watch. Iraq war unjustified says human rights group I see. This group, which jumps on any report of Western nations misbehaving themselves, let it be true or false, doesn't think hundred of mass graves with hundreds of thousands of bodies, or the destruction of the Marsh Arabs and their entire ecosystem (a destruction that was ongoing right up to the moment of the US invasion, btw), justifies the war. They would prefer to see Saddam still in place, still killing to his heart's content. Because one Iraqi dead at Western hands is worse than a thousand dead at Iraqi hands, I suppose. Which has sort of been their attitude all along, hasn't it? While life was better for Iraqis today, he said "the jury is still out" on whether life was going to be significantly better for Iraq's people than it had been under Saddam. So HRW doesn't think that freedom counts for anything. Nor the fact that the Mukhabarat is no longer dragging people away at night, never to be seen again. Have they asked the Iraqis if they would like Saddam back? HRW is only prepared to like enterprises that deliver instant perfection, meaning nothing difficult in this real world. Gee, why do I think America's enterprises are being judged by a different scale, than say, the enterprise of any other country? HRW has thoroughly earned the title, "Human Rights Inactivists".

When did the links to Al Qaeda fall? When did ties to terrorism fall? When did democracy fall? When did humanitarian grounds fall? When did WMD programs fall? When did missile limitations fall? When did compliance with every aspect of all UN Resolutions fall? Please link me to conclusive proof that these have been thoroughly discredited. I may have to change my mind about removing Saddam if you have such proof.
