We killed half a million innocent children in Iraq by implying sanctions on those poor people, but ofcourse Saddam did that, so we are saving them from it now.

And remember, I NEVER said Saddam hasn't committed crimes against his people. He HAS, and he is a devil, but we are a greater cause of suffering for the Iraqi people.

Here comes another justification!!!!
Firstly the sanctions were imposed against the country because of Saddams actions. We didn't do it for fun. Not a justification, simply the truth.

You say we're the greater cause for suffering? Once he's out, his people will have freedoms and liberties they don't have now. There will be no more sanctions and no more atrocities commited angainst his people by him and his evil government.

With your line of thinking, Hitler would not have been deposed. There were Germans who agreed with him and wanted him in power. There were Germans who did not. I think it's and atrocity to leave an EVIL dictator in power. If I were living under ANY evil dictatorship, I would welcome the opportunity to have my freedom, to live fearlessly, to be able feed my family. Not a justification, simply the truth.

I hope the Iraqi people enjoy the freedoms they'll have. I also hope the Americans can have some peace of mind that we won't be shopping or going to work or living our lives and be attacked by Saddam's chemical weapons, which I believe he has, after all they're certainly his style.
