What about all of the liberal fools and the press, who tried to argue before the war, that even though Hussein was a terrible ruler, this doesn't mean that we had the right to remove him?

Meaning... were they "white washing" his atrocities? Or, were they ignorant of them?

I find their lack of compassion for the people of Iraq stunning.

They were whitewashing them, PYW.

CNN's Easson (sp?) Jordan wasn't the only who remained silent, covered up Saddam's torture, in order to have access to Iraq. Pols, NGOs, celebrities, leaders received villas, cash, new Mercedes...invitations to the palace.
