as far as saddam being a monster that needs to be dealt with...

The USA and BRITAIN created this problem when we created Iraq's borders to divide the tribes that sat on all that oil.
So now you have a country (Iraq) who is made up of 3 major tribes WHO WILL NEVER GET ALONG sitting on 11% of the earths oil supply.
Enter Saddam: We made this man. We gave him weapons. Britain built his MUSTARD GAS factories. We stood by and watched as he gassed Iranians and Kurds because at the time IT BENEFITED US. Rumsfeld and co gave him all the weapons he wanted as long as he fed our thirst for OIL.
Now has become a problem for us and is not longer a 'good little puppet' so we must take him out.
Who is it that has for years enforced their will upon smaller nations of the world and participated in colonizing the planet in self interest. The UK and USA.
All I'm saying is that since we created this problem to beging with we should have the common decency to the people of that area and to our own people to solve this using diplomacy and peace. For once be a good example and not a source to fuel hatred.
We have f*cked enough things up.. it's time to start repairing the damage. not creating more of the same. Before you can solve a problem you must first know what causes the problem to begin with.
