It's all relative -- what Dubbya and Asscruft have done to destroy freedom in the US is far worse than anything Saddam has done. Iraq had no freedom to lose. Is Saddam really any different than any other mid-east dictator? For that matter, the people of Korea are suffering far worse, and they're developing WOMD too -- why don't we attack them? Dubbya and Asscruft have millions of people in prison for doing nothing wrong, only violating their bullshit rules in the War On Some Drugs. They have killed thousands of innocent Afghans, and are intent on murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis just to steal their oil. This makes Dubbya a mass-murder far beyond the scale of Saddam. Not that Klinton was any better.

But the purpose of US foreign policy of domination is not just to make the rest of the world jump through hoops; the purpose is to faciliate our exploitation of resources." - Ramsey Clark, former US Attorney General http://www.thesunmagazine.org/bully.html
