I found the Amnesty International description of torture and abuse of the Iraqi citizentry pretty persuasive, and it reinforces my belief that the world will be better without a dictator of Hussein's stripe in power there. As to the war itself, I abhor it.

Troll, I'd like to think issues make a difference in my responses. I have weighed both sides of the arguments. I have serious problems with both Saddam Hussein and George Bush as individuals, let alone as leaders. I despise the solution of war, and I despise the solution of terror and it seems to me that both these men espouse both those things; but I am not in the hot-seat. Hussein doesn't seem to mind having blood on his hands. Bush acts as though he does but I am doubtful of his sincerity.

If the assholes-that-be will not turn away from armed engagement, let us pray it is brief.
