Are you talking to me...?

Nobody denies the nature of Saddam's regime. That was never in question.

Like Donut said, had Bush an co. stated from the start that this war was about human rights, most everyone would agree but it wasn't about HR it was about WoMD. To change the reasoning behind the war half way through it doesn't, in my eyes, still doesn't justify it.

The west (I use that term broadly) could have put an end to Saddam during the original gulf war, but decided not to. That decision had consequences, and even though the situation is being solved as we speak (type), the responsibility of those consequences cannot be ignored.
You mean like Saddam gassing all the Kurds, killing traitors, and forcing the UN to impose sanctions after GW1 which would have never happen if we pressed on to remove Saddam.
