What does count in the long run, when you're dealing with aggregates of people is what works out best for the most in the long run. On the whole, the Iraqis seem happy to be free of Saddam. Are there people who got hurt? Of course. Could Saddam have been negotiated out of power? Dream on.

our hands aren't entirely clean of those 400k kids.. they wouldn't have starved if we hadn't have forced sanctions on them.. I mean hey I know Saddam could have forgone some gold finishings and whatnot, but what do you expect from a brutal dictator?.. when Madelene Albright was asked whether the death of 400k kids was worth the sanctions she said "yes, it's worth it".
