Walden, Saddam would have raped, tortured and executed the convicts entire family. On that note from your statements, are you saying Iraq was better off with that type of leader? We could cut & run leaving the country to Iran. I suppose that would make you happy.

Yeah, to be honest with you I preferred the costs and benefits of the policy of containment. His country was cut in three by no fly zones. The weapons inspectors were running around. We probably wouldn't have lost the 4,000 troops, the tens of thousands wounded and borrowing $2,000,000,000 a week from our enemies for it. How much would gas be without the instability?
Yeah, I think the US was better off with Saddam in power. Crazy isn't it?
Of course who knows where Iraq may be in 10, 20 or 50 years, so the final chapter hasn't been written.

When Saddam was in power, the Iraqis where free to leave the country. Iraqis who disliked Saddam left Iraq. Since Bush's invasion, thousands of Iraqis civilians died. Bush's shock & awe strategy killed thousands. After that, a civil war broke out. There is a power vacuum that hasn't been filled yet.
The Iraqis won't allow us to decide who will lead them next. We should get out & let them decide what to do with their country.
