Saddam and his regime tortured and murdered hundreds of thousands of his own people. Some reports say he used chemical weapons to murder 1.5 million Kurds and Shias, most of them women and children. Reports of rape rooms. Reports of him shredding people alive. How could the majority of the Iraqi people not be happy for their freedom from this evil, sadistic monster?
Just one article: Quote:
Types of torture include: eye gouging, hand-piercing with an electric drill, pouring acid into open wounds, electric shock (mainly to genitals, ears, tongues and fingers), sexual abuse (which includes taking broken glass bottles and placing them in victims’ anuses) and falaqa (beating victims’ soles with a cable).
Other physical tortures include extinguishing cigarettes on the victims’ body, extraction of fingernails or toenails, beatings, mock executions and acid baths – this is just if you’re a male.
Women are subjected to the same treatment and are also subjected to being raped repeatedly. One of Saddam’s recent methods of torture is forcing male family members to watch female family members being raped.

Nice guy we want to do away with, eh?
Even many his own soldiers don't want to fight for him. 8,000 of his military have already surrendered en masse.
Yes, it was heart-filling watching that footage of the Iraqi man hitting Saddam's picture... other Iraqi people hugging and laughing with our soldiers.... upon seeing that it just felt like we are doing the right thing. And yes, of course it makes it worthwhile.
Not to mention that the U.S., Iraq's neighbors and the world will be safer from this human monster.
Sympathies to the families and the utmost gratitude to the brave soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice in their defense for our countries' safety and freedom. You - and all the rest of our military men and women - are our true heroes in a time when the word is overused.
We make war that we may live in peace.
~ Aristotle
