But hey! You can cling to your false belief that the thoroughly corrupt UN, France, Russia, China & Germany were somehow right that Saddam should have been left in power. But hey! You can cling to your ignorance that WE helped keep Saddam in power in the first place. That WE overlooked Saddam's intentions to invade PART of Kuwait but only got mad at him when he took the WHOLE thing. That WE (well, Rumsfeld and Reagan) only cared about an oil pipeline from Iraq through Jordan even as Husayn was using chemical weapons. I don't support corruption by any regime - not Saddam, not Russia, not France or any other nation if implications bear true in the end. But you are missing the important point: the corruption perpetrated by others comes no where close to what the US has perpetrated.
