I wonder why everyone always only blames Bush for Iraq. I guess you don't understand the way our government works. It takes a vote from congress to go to war. So why aren't the ones who voted to take out Saddam as guilty as he is? You say he lied us into war! He fooled all those senators who voted for it. lol They saw the same intelligence reports as he did and decided as a majority to take out Saddam. If he is guilty of something it is trying to protect our butts from another attack like 911 and to help the people of Iraq to be free. What he didn't count on was it's hard to help a country who's people have been fighting each other for hundreds of years and I just don't think most of them want a democracy they are living in the stone age still. War is hell I hate it but we didn't start it. Why is everyone so focused on people getting killed in a war and say nothing about all the people being killed here by criminal's every day? Far more people have been killed here on a daily, weekly basis then in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. I guess it's just easy and seems like it makes you look smart to bash the president. Before you ask a question you should at least get your facts straight. But I'm glad you are at least concerned about your country. Just misguided carry on my friend

The people Bush supposedly killed were the enemy. Civilians die in war, ours and theirs. In World War 2, the allies and axis bombed major cities and killed hundreds of thousands. Bush sent us to Iraq to kill the enemy and keep the attention of the terrorists on us (soldiers) rather than you (civvies). Saddam is a dictator, Bush isn't; in a few years Bush will be gone, no coup, no overthrow, just good ol' American government. So stop bitching about it. Saddam has killed hundreds of thousands of people, all of them civilians, and go ahead and count another couple thousand soldiers too (Iran's and us). The only war criminal in this war is going to swing from the noose in a couple months. Too bad CNN isn't going to televise that one.

Who has killed more people than Saddam Hussein?
American troops or Iraqis?
short quote from link
Most of the deaths in Iraq, particularly in the past two years, have been caused by insurgent, terrorist and sectarian violence.

Not that I agree with war in Iraq...far from it....
but the people doing most of the killing in Iraq are Iraqis.

I've been on the ground in Iraq.... I've seen MASS graves with hundreds of bodies. Both George W. and his father together haven't kill half as many as Saddam.

Does anyone on this site use the brains God gave them? Bush has about another million to go before he gets close to Saddam's record. Besides, under the rules of war, he isn't guilty.
His lies to the people of our country is a different story. I'm still waiting. Nancy ducked out of that responsibility.

He hasn't killed more people than Saddam yet but he's getting there, unfortunately.
Why is he getting away? The law only applies to the losers, not the winners. When Saddam was powerful and had the US behind him, he was free to kill as many civilians as he felt necessary without international interference. During the 1980s when most of these gassings and killings took place, the Regan admin. was in bed with Saddam and NO complaints were made whatsoever. Why? Because America only cares about tyrants killing civilians when it can use it for its own benefit. It's not about who you kill or how many you kill, it's about whether the US & elite nations will support you or not.
So, Bush gets to go free because he's in the class of the elite.
Saddam doesn't go free because he isn't in the class of the elite. He was, once and when he was, he wasn't accused of genocide (even though he participated in it). But as soon as he got kicked out, all the sanctions and bombs came down with him.

Too bad you have your "facts" all backwards.
Saddam was murdering people in his country for 30 years -- sometimes as many as 300,000 per year. We're not anywhere even close to that figure.
Why don't you go and read a bit of history, rather than listening to the scum-sucking media and their lies.

Bush desire was to help the iraqis. It is war. you can't have war without death. that is why war is supposed to be a last resort. He screwed up. He admits it. He is trying to fix it but lets face it, Congress and the Senate ok'd the venture. American's were pissed when 9-11 occurred. America was behind him when he wanted to go there. Now that we are there we can't leave for several reasons.
1. Most Iraqis want their country fixed and are thankful we got rid of Saddam
2. We shook up their country and it is irresponsible of us to leave without fixing it.
3. All international eyes are on us, if we pull out now it shows a lack of spine and tells the world we just got punked.
4. Most of the killing in Iraq by U.S. troops is retalitory.
Bush doesn't want to kill Iraqis and if they'd cooperate we wouldn't have to kill another one.

it's bad that the americans realize that only now. Your country will have to pay during 10 or 20 years for rebuild irak, give back the petrol stolen, and now the us leaders have to discuss with syria and lebanon (the evil axis ?)... And also recognize that the rest of the world was right during all this years... that must be hard to do for your people
