George Bush nearly pelted with shoes

Yeah, Saddam only killed 2,000,000 people, including gassing an entire town. It doesn't get much rosier than that unless you think of Lidice under the Nazis.

Actually most of that death count was us.
Between the sanctions,the fly overs,GW1,and us giving him all those nasty toys for the war with Iran.
We've got our paws all over that,not to mention encouraging the Kurds to revolt and leaving them high and dry.
At least Sadaam kept the lights on,and the plumbing working,which is more then we can seem to pull off.

Actually no, the death count is the responsibility of the person who made a choice to do the killing. You don't blame Smith and Wesson if I go out and shoot a gas station attendant with a .38 Special.

As for encouraging the Kurds, it appears I need a history lesson. Any trustworthy websites you might recommend on that topic?

History of Iran: Arming Iraq: A Chronology of U.S. Involvement
LONG TIME ALLIES: USA and Turkey- almost fallout over Kurdish Iraq.
Its old news
And if I think a guy is a sociopath,and I hand him a howitzer,I should have some culbability
