If the US had dealt in a merciless and brutal fashion with the Fallujah

quite so ready to leap out into the street to create problems.

Which is pretty much how Saddam controlled things. Maybe he wasn't
so bad after all? Maybe the people he killed deserved to die?

The U.S. has probably killed more Iraqis than Saddam ever did.

This last sentence pretty much destroys your credibility.

Why is that?

The
streets of Najaf were running with Shiite blood. Something never seen
after the Kuwait war.

You really don't know what you are talking about.

What is the official Shiite casualties?

The number given by the U.S. Army is Unknown, but several thousand
wounded, and several hundred dead (300 - 600 probable killed).
