So what makes us better than them? Are we not supposed to be the good guys? Does the end justify the means? Do two wrongs make a right? And 13 years of worthless sanctions that resulted in the deaths of 300,000 people was your answer? If we'd done this in 1991, we'd not only have saved those 300,000 lives, but would have known the full extent of Saddam's weapons programs... He certainly wouldn't have had 13 years to destroy or hide all of the information that existed in Iraq related to them..
