Who's to say whats right and whats wrong? You? Me? the government? society? what gives that entity that right?
How do you know what was actually happening in Iraq when Saddam was in power? Because we read it in newspapers or heard it on TV? Because our government told us? Fow all we know the majority of the Iraqi people could have been content with their life when Saddam was in power and now we have gone in there and torn the place up. Unless you lived in Iraq when Saddam was dictator how can you speak of what was going on in that country?
I have no problem with saying a president of the United States of America is a jerkoff. He is not a god to be idolized or worshipped. He is a human being and a politician (nuff said imo) and they make mistakes, they are not perfect, lets not pretend that they are.
