Good point for the mass graves, doc. And I fully agree that a parallel between Saddam`s regime and the nazi Germany can be made TOO. Maybe if the US had made the case of the mass graves and violation of human rights, more countries would have been behind...But there are many other regimes that violate human rights...so there had to be something else...that something else is WMD threat. But this threat was grossly exagerated. We all know that the end game is oil. Otherwise, how would you explain that oil fields have been perectly secured, while water pipelines have been damaged and left unreapaired, leaving the population without drinking water ?
Also, I have always claimed that military action in Iraq would not decrease islamic terrorism, but increase it. Now, how many Al Quaeda bombings have we had just recently ? Does it mean that the US is going to have to invade Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and everywhere a bomb explodes too ? By the way, those countries (Morocco, Saudi Arabia) ALSO violate human rights...do they need regime change ?
