Leaving Saddam in power isn't what I want or like but it is the alternative to a war which will cause more human suffering than it is worth,

"Worth" to whom?

It's mighty pompous of you to set a value on the freedom that has been denied for others while you enjoy yours (paid for by the U.S. and British), especially when you have no intention of lifting a finger to help insure it.

Thought this might be appropriate:

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth war is worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." John Stuart Mills
