It's not about Saddam any longer - he's dead. This thread is about US killing rates in Iraq, - add to that torture and hell knows what else. Never think the US did anyone a favor by messing in the affairs of another nation - yet again.
Also don't bother about "dictators" - that never stopped the US in the past. There was no problem with US military training military officers of oppressive dictatorships in torture techniques and funding regimes of murder and terror.

You know I don't support the war or anything but saying US is killing civilians on purpose is a load of crap. Guess what, right or wrong us being there it's a freaking war. People die all the time in wars. Civilians die all the time in wars.
What was the last war you know of that less than 35k civilians were killed in one year?
Why not get out raged by the mass killings in the "country of the month" in Africa? You want to talk about torture look at those African countries and what they do. Look at what goes on throughout the middle east, makes anything we might do wrong pale in comparison.
Again I don't support the war, but since when did no one die or get hurt in any war? Why has it all of the sudden become necessary that any war waged by the US have no civilian deaths or injuries?
I will bet you anything that, there has never been a war that's lasted as long as this one has, that an army has gone so far out of it's way to avoid civilian deaths.
