So America now has a brief to hunt down and execute every dictator who "killed masses of his own people"?

Then I suggest the next invasion start in Pyongyang, move to China, then gradually work its way down through southeast Asia, south Asia, the Middle East and on into Africa. There's enough material there to keep us busy for a while. When we're done there, we can move to Venezuela and the world tour could finish in Cuba when we deliver the coup de gras to Castro.

"Actions have consequences." That facile cliche could be our motto which we announce to each head of state, just before we invade. Kinda like the Monty Python gag ...."nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!"

Great idea!

Any time we get our hands on one, you betchya.

Unless you'd rather just compensate him for his losses, and reinstall him in Iraq.

Saddam Hussein's Philanthropy of Terror

It is not the "OR"s, it is the "AND"s that lead us to Saddam.

He killed masses of his own people AND he used forbidden weapons against them AND he invaded another country AND he signed an agreement that said, and I quote, "I am your bitch, signed Saddam" AND he violated that agreement repeatedly AND he shot at allied planes that flew in accordance with that agreement AND he gave the inspectors the run around AND he did not demonstrate that he had destroyed the WMDs as accounted for by the agreement.

Because of all of these things, Saddam's state was forfeit and so is his life.
