Old Guy,
I haven't talked with a single opponent to War in Iraq who thinks that Saddam Hussein is anything higher than vile swine (meaning of course, no disrespect to our porcine brethren and sistren). What is being challenged is the rightness and effectiveness of war at this time and under these circumstances, and also whether this is something that we should legitimately intevene into. Far-reaching concerns about national sovereignty are necessarily relevant, as are possible long-term ramifications. Yes, the pain and suffering of his victims is horrible to conceive. But it is not the whole argument. And there are other such experiences in other populations in the world which we are completely ignoring, too. (See: getting the whole story/FCC media consolidation.)

Let us not forget that there are a whole string of interventions with the USA name on them going back for most of my life, anyway, that included so-called "good guys" doing similar things to decent folks with *our* funding, training, and support, and often our encouragement. So if we are talking moral high ground, let's at least keep things honest, eh?
