Sorry, but I have to disagree with the idea of Sadaam in Iraq. Sadaam was a madman and very mentally disturbed. He killed hundreds of thousands of citizens, and kidnapped and tortured young girls on the street. If you ever see an Iraqi with his ear cut/disfigured, it's most likely because he refused to serve in the Iraqi military when Sadaam was dictator. I talked to many Iraqis that we so glad we were there, and liberated them. It may not seem so, but we did a great thing for them. If there is a vacuum in the country it is because we didn't stay long enough to build and strengthen their gov. Once you conquer a country, it is your responsibility to assist the citizens, whether you wish to or not. We did a good thing in Iraq by ridding it of Sadaam. He was a monster.
