As if you ever did. Obviously, if their country is going to run by "thugs," they prefer the imperialistic kind to the Hussein family kind.
If you are reading this, my clueless friend, think of it this way: If George W. Bush REALLY was as bad as some of you say he is, you would welcome liberators, too, regardless of the loss of life. You would accept it as the price of freedom.
Here's the big diff between Bush and Saddam (I know I HAVE to explain this to you): "Regime change" only happens in places like Iraq after war. In America, it can happen every four years. Iraq -- or a country like it -- will never have to liberate the USA as long as the USA allows the people to decide who runs it.
Why can't you understand that? It's not hard. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot: Public school civics classes.
Never miiind.
