For the same exact reasons we should be in Africa, as well as other areas. And we were in Africa, although we pulled out because it wasn't popular with the public during the Clinton years.
We need to be in Iraq to prevent these things; We need to be in North Korea, Iran, and Africa for the same reasons. Not because we don't like their leaders, but because it's the right thing to do.
How will future generations look at us for not taking action?
Oh, Saddam is guilty as sin. No doubt about it.

There were MANY countries where the immediate human rights situation was worse than Iraq was in 2003, I don't believe for a second that was the REAL reason for invading Iraq.
