I can't say I view the invasion of Iraq with quite the same level of enthusiasm as W and Vice W Dick Cheney. I completely agree that Saddam Hussein is a bad man.He's done some very bad things.He used weapons of mass destruction against people in his own country. That's just mean. By the way, when did we start calling big bombs "weapons of mass destruction"? It's a relatively new term.But there have been big bombs for more than 50 years.I guess it just sounds more sinister and ominous than "big bombs." And how much stuff does a big bomb have to be capable of destroying before it can be called a weapon of mass destruction? Is a Sidewinder or Scud missile a weapon of mass destruction? Or does it have to be a really big bomb like an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile? Because I don't think Saddam has any ICBMs.Or does it just have to be chemical, biological or nuclear? But I digress. Saddam truly is a bad man and his regime is quite repressive.
