I do. Saddam was responsible for 2,000,000 deaths over a 25 year period and more than 750,000 Iraqis have been killed by violence in the last 4 years. They are now being killed off at more than double the the rate that Saddam was killing them.

Was Saddam a evil tyrant yes. But Iraq was better off. The stars and stripes sometimes blind people in America. We want to believe we are helping Iraq out, but WE ARE NOT.

Incorrect.
The country had well over a million deaths under Saddam (including his war on Iran). Realistic estimates of the civilian deaths due to the US invasion is about 62,000 (Iraq body count).
The country was divided then, and Saddam was using chemical weapons to slaughter whole towns of rebels.
Iraq may be a mess but the recent mass graves are FEWER and SMALLER than the old ones.

The country wasn't united; they were just forced to be mute. Their infrastructure was certainly better, and they had more peace, but it was a selective peace. The people who were persecuted under Hussein are better off now. The people who were just living their lives trying to keep their heads down are probably worse off now, because they can no longer do that.

Why don't you ask that question of the Kurds, or the remaining family members of those that disappeared during the night.
What a naive and childish question.

I know all the baath party does, but then they were the ones in power. Oh yeah and stupid people that didn't live there and just want to make a point about how they hate Bush in an offhanded way.

I think the survivors of the rape and torture under his and his sons' regime would beg to differ.
