If genocide against your countrymen isn't "that bad" then what prey tell is?

He killed those that opposed him. People were beaten, raped and killed under his regime. He tested biologicals on his own people.

Perhaps you have a different level of tolerance... I consider him pretty hideous.

Comparing him to others that are also hideous doesn't make the kettle less black than the pot... they are both black and repugnant.

Pray tell, you mean?

There was no "genocide" in Iraq, if you define genocide as a Hitler-style "final solution." He wiped out villages that took up arms against his government during a war, in collaboration with the enemy. War crimes, yes; genocide, no. He would've done the same things to rebellious Arabs.

Okay, you convinced me... Saddam was a good 'ol boy.

Let me know when you want to get back to reality.

Point to the incorrect word, please, and explain with evidence why it's incorrect.

Are you crazed man!!!! Sadam not only killed innocient people, gassed them, took there young boys and trained them to shoot to fight against the enemy but his sons raped young girls, took pictures and showed it to their parents and them killed them. Now you can say they would of been better off now!!!!

I still can't get images of babies dead in the streets bloated because they were gassed, God bless those little soules. These Arab countries should get with the program it is no longer Ancient times modernize the way you live and treat each other with respect and hold them worthy.

Have you happened to look at any news from that country since?

Have you looked at pictures from Dresden and Hiroshima? I assume you have a ready-made excuse for that.

In case you forgot:
Saddam: The Bad Guy
The U.S. and Allies: Good Guys

You do agree, don't you?

Compare that to the other nations, were women are treated like possesions and other religions are banned
But we strangulated this with our sanctions.
