Come on, Doug... The discussion at hand isn't about Saddam or his history of human rights abuses. It about whether ot not to allow Sunni's and Ba athist to be part of a new Iraq or to become the latest population to be ethnically cleansed because they joined the Ba ath Party inorder to secure their job... Now if their job was to hurt people that's a different story but most had absolutely nothing to do with it...

Would you really turn your back on a situation where some 2 or 3 million people would become victims of revenge while standing in at the whipping post of the real culprit? You don't build nations on a foundation of even more human rights violations.
