An "evil dictator" is a friend of the United States when he is ready to do business, and a mortal enemy when he is not. Far many more Iraqis have died due to the war Bush started than were killed by Saddam in the years prior to the invasion. The total number of civilian Iraqi deaths may well be more than 100,000. (The equivalent loss for the United States would be more than 1 million people.) Perhaps it should be Bush's neck in a noose!
