Really we didn't need a reason....who put Saddam in power to begin with? If the US put Saddam in power to begin with then why shouldn't we be able to swap him out?

I also might remind you that the talk against Iraq was heating up before W got into power something was going to happen to Saddam whether W got elected or not.

If anything America has fought these two wars with one hand tied behind our backs, it could have been worse for those people over there.

Also these are not war crimes just based on past events that weren't considered war crimes, Fire bombing of Dresden, Sherman's March, Armenian Genocide etc. and those were far worse than anything W or Blair have done so let's not make a big deal out of something that historically speaking isn't a big deal
1) I agree that peoples like CurtisLemay and CIe who did organize the Dresden bombing etc should be sentenced for Warcrime too, now the question was about W and Blair so I answered that part only.

2) They put a tyran in power knowing that he was mangling Shiites and Kurdis is absolutely unacceptable and to remove him because they need to finance a war for their friends interests is even worst as it killed I don't know how many millions innocents including 500 000 young children. If you put a maniac in power to serve your even more maniac interests, you cannot justify to swap him off killing millions to serve, once again, your own interests.

3) The talk with Saddam was a long time planned PNAC plan The Pontifical North American College, America's Seminary in Rome, this doesn't care about moral or whatever else, it's only about self interests, which is unacceptable too.

4) No, according to AMnesty International, Human Right Watch, the UN and even the Red Cross, situation in Iraq since the invasion did deteriorate to a chaotic degree, just the education itself went down by like 75% or something like that, I can find you back the exact numbers if you don't believe me.
