So all those African warlords committing genocide and killing whole tribes of people is ok?
Saddam was evil and didn't deserve his country moreso than these African Warlords (even though we put him in power and helped him stay there.)
N. Korea has mass graves and lots of attrocities but they are ok and we can look the other way, but Saddam needed to go.
We, GOP'ers never believed in getting involved in the Bosnia-Serbia genocide because it was a Clinton distraction and a UN affair. Their genocide had nothing to do with this country... nope no sirree Bob.
The people the Saud family kill deserve it. The people the Isreal government kill deserve it... none of them are near as evil as Saddam.
Oh, so he controlled some oil, big deal (and except for our great friends and allies Isreal and Saudi Arabia none of those other countries have anything financially beneficial to us), he was evil.
Besides, the genocide in Africa is just saving us money anyway, because eventually we'd have to send AIDS medicines over to help them.
