The "Why Saddam?" question is a good one, and I understand that it must be asked. I'm not sure I can argue the point well here, so I'll punt a little. Perhaps there were better targets, and this one was chosen for bad reasons. Since I (the formerly very hard-core Bush supporter) am having integrity questions I really can't say.

However, when it comes to any other country right now, we couldn't possibly do anything to anyone, both because of our military presence requirements in Iraw and because we wouldn't allow our president to start another war. So that's kind of moot point, given that we've already attacked Saddam.

My point was that the U.S. judging Saddam for his evil acts was not arrogant, it is a rational, reasonable viewpoint based on what he's done. But again, I'll conceed that there our other evil dictators and I really couldn't say if Saddam was the best target for us.
