Don't get me wrong, I will be the first to agree that the initial reasoning for initiating the the war was skewed at best, and that there definatly were an infinate number of more politically correct ways we could have gone about it, but that doesn't change the fact that Saddam and his dictatorship was an atrocity.

Just look at the mass graves we've turned up, the horror stories from the general populace, and the way he was raping the country simply for his benefit. The man was a monster, and though we could have gone about it better, it is a good thing to have him out of power.
