I know you're getting a lot of this answer. Both were bad. Sadom was a horible leader who didn't do a damn thing for his own people, but he didn't start this war. He was off minding his own business running his country when Bush declared vendetta.
9/11 happened and he makes that speech about seeking revenge on the perpetrators (Al Qaida) and almost immediately changes focus and attacks Iraq and accuses them of "terrorism" when they had absolutely nothing to do with the attacks. We found and captured Sadom relatively quickly while Bin Laden is still at large and reportedly planning future attacks.
I've heard we do still have a few troops in pursuit of him, but we've given so much of our attention to Iraq undeservingly it's rediculous! In my opinion Bush used the 9/11 attacks to vaguely link Sadom with his made-up "Access of Evil" (which sounds like something out of a comic book) and take him in only because Sadom had attacked Bush Sr. and because we need oil. We've all but forgotten about the original problem.
And on that note, what's up with the inflation of gas prices? We've scured oil rigs, we have direct access to fuel, why does the price continue to climb? About a year ago I was spending just over $20 for a FULL tank of gas in my Dodge Stratus with the good stuff. Just today I filled it up with the cheapest around and payed almost double!
Sadom may have been a despicable person, but he did nothing to provoke this war. If it ever ends I think Bush should be tried for war crimes. His should be sentenced to be tied to a chair in the middle of a high traffic public place with a dunce cap hot glued to his head to have passers-by throw rocks at him. Idealy, he should be placed near a construction site so there would be plenty of dislodges slabs of concrete lying around to be thrown. Hell, I'd pay to go and hurl a few stones at him. That's a great idea: charge people to throw rocks at the guy who killed the national budget and have all the money go to paying off our debt!

You would be very hard pressed to find people who will say that Bush is worse than Saddam. I am in the "I don't like Bush as my president" camp. I do not believe the US should have attacked Iraq as well. There didn't seem to be much call for it, and some of the new information that is comming out about the weeks and months before the war are really disturbing. Saddam might go down as one of the worst dictators of the last 100 years, but that will be an honor that he will share with people who are still in power and hopefully we will not just go to war with them.

Both are bad, but Bush is worse because he lies and pretends to be "an angel of light." Who in heck would honestly believe that we went to Iraq b/c Saddam is a worse threat than the N. Korean dictator (who has weapons as well as starving people and imprisoning/torturing opposers)? The only reason we didn't go to N. Korea but did go to Iraq is...you got it, OIL. N. Korea has NOTHING, no resources, to steal.

Bus is more evil than Saddam, because he has a veneer of being honest because he's the president of USA but it's just a veneer.
Beneath it all lies an evil man who lies through his teeth and can barely express the very lies he tells and because the gullible American public believes his lies.
This can do a lot of harm in the world and may eventually hurt the USA much more than it's beginning already.

Saddam if you want to compare evil for evil....
But within only a few years the Chinese communists killed millions of "small landlords." In the 1970s, Pol Pot succeeded in killing two-thirds of the Cambodian population. Countless dead filled the countryside of the former Yugoslavia, and in 1994 militant Hutus killed as many as a million Tutsis and Hutu moderates within only three months, supposedly protected by the French government -- which, in fact, withdrew its troops -- and ignored by the United States and the United Nations.
Now another pandemic of mass killings is being documented, recorded and widely ignored. This time the perpetrator is Saddam Hussein, whose Baathist Party was said to be based on that of the Nazis, and accounts of its killing efficiency continue to flow to the Coalition Provisional Authority. The U.S. Agency for International Development reports that since Saddam was ousted, 270 sites of mass graves have been reported. These contain an unknown number of Iraqis, Iranian prisoners of war, Iraqi Kurds and Kuwaiti prisoners among the long list of those Saddam tortured and killed. British Prime Minister Tony Blair puts the remains in mass graves at 400,000 so far.

both are bad, but Saddam WAS NOT a threat to the US Bin Laden was and still is.
where's Bin Laden by the way??
of course we had no business invading Iraq and killing over 200,000 of it's population for absolutely NO reason.

So why don't you move to Iraq. You like Iraq and Saddam so much and have such a distaste for our president, please feel free to leave our country with our blessing. But please don't come running back when you find USA and our president are far greater than being there.
