How often does the USA support repressive totalitarianist regimes when it's in their interests? Constantly.
The USA supported the Taliban financially for years and they repressed their people far more than Saddam represses the Iraqi people. In fact, the USA's support for the mujahadeen (Islamic fundamentalists) in their struggle against the Soviet Union set the groundwork for the establishment of the Taliban in 1996.
So get down of your moral high horse and stop pretending you're going to war for the Iraqi people. It's bullshit and we both know it.
You don't fight for the freedom of others. You fight for your own economic interests.
This rhetoric is getting old and tired.

America has shed more blood for freedom than any other country I know of. Need I say more? That kind of says it all.
