He had one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world while he was building billion dollar palaces for himself.

OK... let's keep the conversation in balance...
The US admin elected to enter a war - forget the multiple excuses, alleged logic and utter drivel supplied as the reasoning, since they are just that - drivel.
Saddam was a thug. There are many thug leaders on this planet - he is no different. Tho, the US elected to have him as an ally when that was convenient.
Crappy excuses for this and that are irrelevant. The people who are the core issue right now are the Iraqi people.
The US elected to invade - what exactly has the US got to offer them??
