Since Saddam murdered at least 300,000 Iraqis, and since, by best estimates, somewhere around 60,000 have died ( http://www.iraqdobycount.org ), then I'd have to say, based on FACTS, that more have died under Saddam.

But let's also not forget that most of the people who have died, have been killed by terrorist insurgents who were Saddam supporters. Does he get partial credit for those?

Another thing to think about is that talking body-counts without context is an exercise of poor logic.

Clearly under Saddam he killed hundreds of thousands of people (if not more) if you actually research it.

With that said, I feel we need to get out. We have given them a chance, installed a government, thrown about a trillion dollars their way (funding our forces, rebuilding, aid, etc) and now it is up to them to chose their future. Muslims do not have the same values as Americans and therefor we cannot "win" (IE stabilize the country, democracy, etc) without simply wiping all of them out (which would defeat our purpose?).

For the nay-sayers of leaving... We won't win just staying there and beefing up our forces. My best friend Rob is in Iraq right now and he writes saying that these Terrorists all hold 9-5 jobs then do their deeds. So whenever we go into a town and kill the terrorists, all of his friends (who might be good citizens) get angry and want to kill us for revenge. It's part of their scheme and it works brilliantly. We need to leave because its hopeless. We need to get our pride out of our rear ends and just leave. We "lost" oh well, everyone loses occasionally. Lets spend that trillion dollars on boarder security. I like the new act Congress is starting with requiring passports sometime late January, thats a good start.

We attacked Iraq NOT to free the people, because honestly, did we really care? It happened for decades and we didn't do anything. We attacked because we wanted to attack someone for revenge of September 11th - when Bush had over a 90% approval rating and the war was widely supported. That is true, deny it or not. If September 11th never happened, we would not have attacked anyone.

And with all that said, I was a Bush supporter both elections because look who he ran against... 2 horrible candidates. Dem's need to raise up someone with values, not scum. I do not regret voting for Bush because at least he stands up to evil and doesn't hide in a hole and shake sticky hands.

Saddam takes it by a mile. People seem to forget the time he had 184,000 Kurds executed in a single day for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.

Under Saddam, he has murdered tens of thousands of Kurds, and Shiites. He has gased his own people, buried them alive, and executed them.
