First of all, I am a libertarian & vote for every libertarian in every election, so obviously I didn't vote for Bush. That being said, I think Bush is doing the right thing, as our Governments' most important job is to protect us.

Here are a few of Saddams little known facts...

-Saddam destroyed 1400-1500 villages and killed up to 182,000 people in northern Iraq.

-4049 villages have been destroyed in northern Iraq since 1975.

-In Basra, civilians were tied to tanks to be used as human shields & tied to rocks & thrown into the Shatt al-arab waterway.

-In Karbala, doctors and nurses were executed, and patients were thrown from windows.

-There were mass executions of suspected rebels in stadiums.

-Saddam issued orders to use machine guns, grenade launchers and flame throwers against civilian demonstrators.

- Saddam tortures people lining them up single file and putting them through a wood chipper, sometimes head first, sometimes feet first.

-Individuals were subjected to beatings, electric shocks, burns, mock executions and sexual torture including rape (one source cites up to 1,000 reported cases of rape and many more may have gone unrecorded).

-Other methods of torture reported included cutting off ears and tongues, gouging of eyes and castration.

-Over 600 Kuwaiti nationals transferred to Iraq during the occupation have still not been accounted for.

-Saddam praised the terrorists who crashed airplanes into the twin towers and the pentagon. He callen them heroes.

-Saddam pays the families of Palistinian suicide bombers large sums of money for carrying out their deeds.


And people blame Bush for not being able to succussfully comunicate with this guy. You cannot rationalize with a completely irrational person.

Winston Churchill origionally wanted to order a preemptive strike against Adolf Hitler, obviously did not, and regretted it until his death. If we would have attacked Hitler before WWII, there would have been protesters everywhere citing unjustified attacks. I realize Saddam couldn't become the world power that Hitler eventually became, but with todays technologies (WMD), he certainly could inflict as many murders.

Saying that war is never the right thing is a sophomoric, visceral argument.
