I can't help but feel that we are going very far astray when we digress into discussions of brutality under Saddam versus brutality under Bush. Here's a listing of various conflicts, civil wars and acts of genocide in tthe 20th and 21st centuries: http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/massacre.html

Take a look at the very extensive list cited there and then tell me what percentage of these conflicts did the US take any interest what-so-ever in? We are not in Iraq because of some altruistic concern over Saddam's lack of humanity. Arguments like the one in this thread beg the real issues.
