Was it worth a million Iraqi deaths, 3,000 US military lives, and 3 trillion dollars? The world is better off?
Not to downplay someone's death, but I'm skeptical of the 1M death toll. How come one agency does a poll and it's gospel to those that are anti-war? Why are we not seeing any further evidence to support a poll that surveyed less then 2000 households?
Wouldn't anti-war investigative teams have proof of this by now that major news organizations could review and give credibility by now?

I've heard many different numbers...ok, even if its 200,000...does that change anything? to me, not really.
btw, i assume you were speaking generally, but i'm not anti-war. I'm anti Iraq war...afghanistan on the other hand...
again not defending all our actions in the world, not by a long shot, but fact is the world would be worse off if we sat idly by.
I agree with you on most you said, but I dont think its appropriate to say "the fact is the world would be worse off" Thats hard to say. As far as Saddam -- was he an evil piece of shit? Yes. Was it worth a million Iraqi deaths, 3,000 US military lives, and 3 trillion dollars? The world is better off?
Is the world better off with Iraq the way it is now? So Saddam is dead, does it really make any difference?
Kim Jong Ill is dead now. Is North Korea any different?
If you think about these answers it really shines a light on what a waste of money and lives the Iraq war was.
id would go as far to say Iraq is way worse now. Saddam was despised by extremists because he didnt rule with Islamic law. christians used to be safe in iraq, now, they're killed.

That would be the ideal situation. It's sad it will never happen.... Well probably
And is Iraq really any better off?
