If you're asking me to defend Saddam, don't bother, because I won't. As a US citizen, I am responsible for everything that my government does with my tax dollars, not what Saddam does with his. Saying we won't kill as many as Saddam, or that our torture is 'torture light' and therefore not as bad doesn't exactly seem be much in the way to wage a 'just war'.
In case you disagree and want to explore this further, I have prepared a few slogans we can use in the resulting campaign.
The Coalition - At Least We Haven't Raped Your Sister
The Coalition - At Least You Get to Keep Your Testicles
The Coalition - Less Than 100,000 Killed
The Coalition - Don't Worry About Us Staying Too Long - We Hate This (*&ing Place
