I hate the idea that the US attacked Iraq, but it is really clear that the world is a better place with Saddam in it.

Hear ya Alex... It's not a matter of the US leaving blah - the US should never have been there in the first place.
It's also not an issue over the evils or otherwise of Saddam - he was only one thug in power on this planet. There are plenty more - the US going to invade their countries with another "Shock and Awe"?
The purported reasons for US involvement was.. well.. everything from WMD, "war on terror" to "spreading freedom and democracy". All of these reasons are false and only an idiot would believe any one of them. Who knows the real reason - tho there are profits from war and the US sure needs some profits. Killing never stepped in the way in pursuit of a dollar - why stop now?
The US seriously needs to attend to US issues and stay the fuck out of the affairs of other nations. It may also be appropriate that the US starts reparations to all nations where it caused serious and long lasting damage - Iraq and it's people are only a grain of sand in that pile of damage. That said, the US does not have the funds to even begin to restore that damage.
The US has nothing to offer anyone and has been a leech for decades - it's time to quit the bullshit and stand up with whatever honor is left and make an attempt to be ecomonically sustainable and quit living off plastic cards from other nations.
Only my
- it is so fucking sad that any, allegedly civilized, western nation should conduct itself so badly that it becomes so despised by the international community. It's also damned sad that there is a total inability in leadership to communicate internationally on a balanced level. It is also damned sad for the victims of such a government - with emphasis on the masses who suffered or were killed on foreign territories, but not forgetting those who were expected to fight the wars of this idiot government. It is also damned sad that the ecomonics of a nation could be so badly screwed on pointless war adventures - especially when a fraction of that cost could have done so many other positive things at all levels, both for US folks and for others on an international level. Disgust is too mild a word.
