- Using women and children as a safety fence
- Exploiting his people to build up his personal wealth
- Firing scud missles into Israel without reason
- Genocide of his own citizens
Oh, there are more, many more.

- Invading Kuwait
Totally justified. Kuwait was slant dripping into Iraq's oil. Clearly an act of war stealing another nations resources. Then again Kuwait was once part of Iraq and annexed as needed. Just because the British Christians previous campaigns of divide & conquer had separated the land don't mean Saddam has to play by the British mapping system. Perhaps he wanted Iraq to go back the way it used to look before the English carved up the region.
Will Texas allow Mexico to slant drill into their oil? F' No and we'd invade and kick there ass if they tried it.
- Using women and children as a safety fence
Not sure about that at all. I know he has cyclone chain link fences and no longer needs women and children for marking property lines.
- Exploiting his people to build up his personal wealth
Sort of like the Texian monkey exploiting all of us after 911 for his crony wars and war profiteering buddies? Halliburton anyone? Enron? Gas pipe thru Afghanistan, Patriot Act I & II, Pat Robertson a person buddy of GW, WMD, list goes on and on and on and on.
- Firing scud missles into Israel without reason
Ok that was ****ed up and uncalled for. Probably made him look good to Saudi, Syrian, Iran, Egypt, no know the whole region.
That is sort of like Clinton firing cruise missiles after he got impeached? Should the US be invaded for such a rogue act?
- Genocide of his own citizens
Thats debatible. Depends on who you talk to. Ask a neocon and they'll say 1 million, trillion mass graves. Ask a human being and they'll say most of the mass graves were from the Iran/Iraq war.
Saddam was a thug, much like if 50 cent ran the country. He had some people killed, but so did clinton, neither had a system in place to do genocide, ie rape and torture rooms of their own people on a massive scale.
