What do you suggest? to Pray?
While we watched Saddass, his sons and his regime imprison, beat, rape and kill more children?
Then why does Bush stand by and watch thousands upon thousands of Africans die because of brutal rulers?
We invaded Iraq because the Bush administration claimed they were a threat to the US, not to other Iraqi's. Saddam had been killing his own people for 20 years or more, why invade now? Because it is politically advantageous due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Bush wanted to invade Iraq before 9/11, it was only after the attacks that he could muster the support he wanted, and then only among the American public. If you want to really help people under brutal dictators, you should be screaming for US intervention in Africa, many more have died and are dying there than in Iraq. This whole conflict stinks of political positioning, not national security or altruism.
