So what about the attacks on his own people? He tested biological weapons on his own people. Better them than us? Hell no, a life is a life. 15 years ago, he leveled a city in Iraq by bombing them. Why? To test out his weapons.
Wow...15 years ago...you don't say? Well it seems to me that he really has not been doing anything like that in recent memory in which is why people can only bring up stuff that is completely irrelevant today. Everyone knew what he was doing then and they continued to ignore him. Then was the time to do something when he was actually...you know...doing something.

Saddam has been an issue for almost 30 years. Israel has been an issue since BC times. Saddam was in power because of the UN. Israel is a completely different situation.
Way to dodge the bullet. Not really. I don't know. This is one I need to think about a bit more.

Lame reason? Excuse me? Our soldiers, our men and women are FIGHTING for YOUR freedom. There are worse dictators out there, sure... but one more gone from the list of bad dictators is better then letting him sit over in Iraq killing thousands of innocents.
They will be fighting for my freedom as soon as you point out how saddam was a threat to my freedom. Since he isn't and wasn't at the time they are not fighting for my freedom.

We were doing stuff. That is why we kept on him and kept doing weapon inspections and things of the sort. He would have never come into anything big if we kept it up. Doing nothing would literally be doing nothing. Like what Europe did with hitler. No inspections and he blatantly showed he was making weapons and showed them off for all to see and they did nothing to stop it. That is doing nothing.

EDIT: The government says we were there for these reasons. Not all of our soldiers believe that. As long as you don't blame the soldiers for doing what they were taught and told to do, and you hate those who give the orders, I really don't care what you have to say about the war.

People there are free, now. They can do what they want to do. The result is right and good, so I don't see how going to war with them (even if for "wrong" reasons) is a bad thing.
I don't blame the soilders at all. They are grunts who have no choice in the matter.

I am not going to argue that the area is worse than before but I don't think it is any better with all the suicide bombings and the people who are trying to take power there. Religious fanatics in the middle east garner too much influence and power.

Israel has 'broken' hundreds of UN 'regulations'. I put the '' because it wasn't really breaking, and they weren't really regulations. Some of these were straight-out hilarious, to the point you'd think some old Nazi thought of them. In reality, when Arab nations gather a majority (usually all of the UN, except Britain, the USA and Micronesia), they can pass all sorts of 'regulations'. These UN sanctions mean abseloutly nothing.
Thank you for pointing that out to me. I know most all if not all of them are usually crazy for the most part. It is just something I hear tossed around from time to time. If I could be bothered I would have done some sort of research but...I just don't care that much.
