Aren't you overlooking Uday Husseins well documented love of rape? But
otherwise I'm sure it was a lovely place to live.


But he never committed his rapes on the street.....

So the Sadam appologists give him a pass.


Actually, its a matter of numbers. How many rapes did Uday commit? How many
are being commited now? Likewise with daily murders, etc.

You guys like to tout the mass graves and so on, but the reality is that
most of that stuff happened years ago. The biggest single killer in Iraq has
been for several years the result of the UN sanctions. True, Saddam could
have played better with us and the sanctions wouldn't have been needed, but
it will be several years before things improve to the point that the Iraqis
are significantly better off materially than they were before the invasion.
And, in the meantime, we have the potential for even worse things happening
in Iraq than anything that Saddam and his kids ever managed to do.
