Yes. To be more specific, he gassed his own people that were in league with that other person of the triumvirate axishead of evil, IRAN.

For its part, the US would rather MOAB these people instead.

I guess one can argue that MOABING is better than GASSING.

He intentionally killed everyone in an entire town, including women and children - not by mistake, but by design. We never kill non-combatants on purpose. I guess the babies were in league with Iran too, right?

Actually, Churchill gassed the Kurds too. And he bombed them as well, just like Saddam did. Of course, Churchill is long since dead, so we can ignore what he did right?

Let's kill Saddam. Then we can ignore what he did too.

No, all our cluster bombs are precisely targeted.
Our depleted uranium is not a problem- for us
When we smashed up Fallujah, we told the civilans to leave- if they had somewhere to go. Only then did we blow them up.

We are the good guys, remember?

Saddam apologists give me the urge to defecate.

I hope you don't equate morally the age old practice of only targetting combatants, but inevitably hurting some civilians, with the practice of intentionally trying to kill non-combatants including babies.

Are the people of Iraq better off today than they were under Saddam?

Probably, and if they're not, the fault can be laid at the feet of the insurgents.

Brandon, things were not so bad under Saddam for most folks. They had free health care, free schools, including college and homelessness did not exist.

This is bull**** and the sad thing is, you appear to believe it.

What I am talking about is the pursuit if a military goal (even when it becomes apparent that none is attainable) with complete disregard of any civilians who might be in the way.

To take only one point, since you mention babies: have you seen the stats for birth defects, and the photographs, in Iraq attributable to the use of depleted uranium ordnance?

If you need to be reminded of what Saddam has done, try these. They are a tad graphic, but the Abu Ghraib pictures seem to turn you lefties on, so maybe these links will as well.

The mayor's letter to Casey is being handed out to families at homecoming ceremonies at Fort Carson, adding a sense of "mission accomplished" to the joy returning soldiers and their families are experiencing, said McMaster's wife, Katie.

Brandon, things were not so bad under Saddam for most folks. They had free health care, free schools, including college and homelessness did not exist. Thanks to us there are a million homeless, the schools are gone and no health care. These are things we don't read about here in the states.
