    Quote-Saddam Hussein is the first world leader in modern times to have brutally used chemical weapons against his own people. His goals were to systematically terrorize and exterminate the Kurdish population in northern Iraq, to silence his critics, and to test the effectiveness of his chemical and biological weapons. Hussein launched chemical attacks against 40 Kurdish villages and thousands of innocent civilians in 1987-88, using them as testing grounds. The worst of these attacks devastated the city of Halabja on March 16, 1988

    So again, should we just have left this "thug" as some people would call him to it ? It still surprises me how some people like to live with their head in the sand.
    that was was the worst rationality I've heard. So we invade for something he did 15 years ago? We already went to war with him to defend his neighbors. since then. Yes he did horrible things. No what worse things are happening now there.

    Even with you rationality. There were a lot of other countries with worse dictators we could have went after

    If we were so concerned about human rights, we would of peace keepers to Democratic Republic of Congo during the 2nd Congo War (1998-2003) which killed almost 4 million mostly due to preventable stuff like starvation and disease.
