Really, the fact that Saddam was a mass killer entered to no more than 5% in the decision to go to war with Iraq, IMHO. The 90% of the driving force was the oil, period. I`d say another 5% was to find weapons of mass destruction, and yet nothing has been found. It is funny how public opinion gets so easily manipulated. It did not bother anyone that Saddam was a mass mudrderer during the Iran-Iraq war. So what changed since then ? 9/11 ? There have been no connections established with El Quaeda, despite repeated attempts. It is like if this administration desperately needs to find WMDs and links with Al Quaeda, but each time, they happen to be unsuccesful. Again, the naive american people have been embarked in an imperialistic war for oil while they are convinced to be making the world a better place...You cannot impose democracy on people, this is called a dictature ! What if these folks democratically decide to have a shiite religous form of government very much like the Taliban ? What if they are just not made for democracy ? It is a good thing that Saddam was removed, but now, if the US really had genuine and honnest intentions, it should pull back of Iraq as soon as possible. Not try to put its own puppet government to serve its own economical interrests.
