There's a lot of "evil dictator tyran" everywhere....
Most of the anti-war knows that Sadam is evil etc... They're just wondering...why HIM in particular....

ok, IF that is true then thats a bitch. but i still don't think its a legitament excuse to be against this war. there is more good that'll come out of it opposed to not doing anything at all. think of it this way, innocent people die for a brief amount of time, or innocent people continue to die until iraq undergoes some sort of significant change, ie saddam's death. logically looking at the history of iraq while saddam has been in power, that is how it will go.
and WHY saddam particularly? maybe its about control, maybe its about oil. whether or not it is about oil who gives a shit? we're the ones stepping up taking initiative, should be ours anyways.
