The thought is ridiculous for anyone to see Saddam Hussein as anything more than filth.

wow, wow, wow. Calm down there. If it's your worldy duty to rid a tyrannical man of power then why the hell are you supporting so many tyrants? And why are you not doing anything about other tyrants who are much worst?
Are you telling me that you worry about Iraqis more than I do?

Well, they did it because they are evil. They were able to do it because we had let our guard down. This can not happen again. Will it? Hopefully not, but it may. The US states that we had intel on Weapons of Mass Destruction. Well, as far as we can see thus far, the intel was wrong. Does that make our invasion any less unjust? What if it was correct and we didn't. Would Saddam use it if he could? Damn Skippy!

They were able to do it because there's nothing easier than terror. If you decide to go out and run over a few people with your car, you'd be able to kill quite a few people before going down. Doesn't take a genius to create terror.
The intel was wrong? They don't know the meaning of proof? The "useless" UN was able to determine that the Nigerian hahahahahahahaha about Saddam acquiring nuclear material was fake within a day. Apparently the US intelligence is not smarter than a bunch of UN people who don't work in the intelligence field? I mean please.

Why? Because our country was at war, that's why.
Why were we at war? December 7, 1941. How many killed December 7, 1941? 2,403 Navy, Army, Marine & civilian personell.
Why are we at war now? September 11, 2001. How many killed Sepetember 11th, 2001? 3,030 Men, Women, Children & Military personell.
Same situation, just a different date on the calendar. I think that just typing this out has changed my outlook on the war a bit, and maybe it will you too. Who knows.
Stop and think about where your heart is regarding this war. We are there for the good of the American people as well as the well being of the entire world. We are there to make sure that we retain freedom. Freedom is a hard thing to achieve in the first place, so let's not lose it.

Same situation? How can it be same situation? First off it was Germany who declared war on the US, secondly Hitler was actually a threat and a big tyrant. Did the US choose to go after a tyrant in some third world country instead?
Currently the big tyrant and the big threat is Kim Jong Il. Obviously the US government chooses to appease and negotiate with him. Why? Because he's actually a threat and is currently developping missiles that can reach the US.
